To be honest, it's quite distributed for me, in the sense that I'm often just subscribed to a single person for a given instance. I have multiple subscriptions for these instances, though:

• https://makertube.net/
• https://video.thepolarbear.co.uk/
• https://diode.zone/
• https://share.tube/
• https://tilvids.com/

Is it just me, or is Peertube a lot less federated than it's supposed to be? I feel like most of the content ought to be available from most any instance, like it is on Lemmy, but it doesn't seem to work like that.

Not an instance per se, but Grayjay's home tab ends up being a great discovering place, specially as you add more instances as plugins. Only problem is that it has a tendency of pulling older videos, though for that too, more instances added should help.

And one channel I recommend, though releases are sporadic, is !veronicaexplains@tinkerbetter.tube

As someone already said, your instance has to follow other instances in order to feature their content on its home page, but you can still follow any remote account regardless of that by typing 'user@instance' on the search bar of your local instance, or by using the remote subscribe feature when browsing channels on other instance.

I added a bunch on here: https://piefed.social/f/fediversevideos

If your on piefed, the feed has a ton of curated channels and communities across the fediverse that have interesting content. Your free to make your own as well!

I subscribe directly and then if I think the community (here) could potentially like it, I post.

My favourite instance is peertube.wtf. As far as I can tell, it's the most federated instance, so you can get to the most other Peertube content from it! Also it's just funny that "wtf" is its URL! For channels, I like Triple Iris , Vex0r, and Slope's Game Room

If you have an account in any PT instance you can search the user you want to follow. If it's not in the same instance you just have to add it after an @.
