  • I administrate a PeerTube instance (peertube.wtf) and everything is just much more complicated compared to a Lemmy instance.

    One reason I don’t “auto-federate” is because there’s a ton of pirated and questionable content. So much content is in a foreign language and so many instances are inactive and therefore filled with spam.

    That’s why I add instances manually to federate with. This way, the quality of the content is also much higher.


  • PeerTube work just like Lemmy, when it comes to federation. If you are on the front page of Lemmy.wtf you only see content that is federated specifically with lemmy.wtf. On PeerTube.wtf you also only see content that is federated. However, PeerTube support a “global search” that uses SepiaSearch and SepiaSearch knows about pretty much every PeerTube instance. So when you use the search box on peertube.wtf, it will search beyond the instances that federates with peertube.wtf.
