Admittedly a risky crosspost, but cannot find conflicting community rules. I believe the possible discussion justifies it.

Or 'What is PeerTube lacking that you simply cannot do without?'

I believe it's a safe assumption that fediverse users want to move away from the monopolies and closed gardens so often associated with video streaming, and yet it's not a task that's ever been made easy. Maybe an ounce of inspiration is the cue we need, and so my question to you is; What's Stopping you from using PeerTube?

I also find the federation makes it even more fragmented and difficult to find content from the few creators I'd follow (mostly reposts from Youtube).

And it's not even like the different instances follow a theme consistently.

It should just be you check on a bunch of instances and you get a combined feed of them all. If thats possible on the app, it isnt obvious enough.

I think the architecture of federation is flawed. Different instances should share the same common elements while each hosting their own.

On Lemmy there shouldn't be 5 different subs of the same thing where everyone just goes on the most popular one. Everyone should be rehosting the same sub on their own... I mean that's how the internet works. That's DNS is shared...

Peertube's main usecase for me would be links based video hosting. So if I wanted to embed or link a video in a webpage, or a course moodle.
