When I tried it in the past, I kinda didn't take it seriously because everything was confined to its instance, but now, there's full-featured global search and proper federation everywhere? Wow, I thought I heard there were some technical obstacles making it very unlikely, but now it's just there and works great! I asked ChatGPT and it says this feature was added 5 years ago! Really? I'm not sure how I didn't notice this sooner. Was it really there for so long? With flairs showing original instance where video comes from and everything?

How are PeerTube instances funded? I'd imagine that the cost of running an instance is significantly higher than a Lemmy instance.

Depends on the instance and activity levels. I run a very small one on my own, and it costs ~$10 each month for server rental and b2 storage.

If I was running it on a broader scale, it would start to add up, but I mostly wanted to help with federation and reliability, and that’s fairly inexpensive.

Not my experience, still hard to me to find good quality and interesting contents on it. A problem i don't have on pixelfed, so it's not about the lack of algorithm

Yeah, it's not really all that deep in content yet.

Looks promising though
