I'm searching Makertube and have an awful feeling its only searching the server I'm on and not all of Makertube and not all of Peertube? I'm getting no results. Find it hard to believe no one has uploaded a workout to the whole of Peertube! But no results mean its no alternative to Youtube, kinda like Mastodon often yields no results.

@media_dept Sorry to jump in, but have you tried Sepia Search as a search engine for finding content uploaded on PeerTube? https://sepiasearch.org/

@amassaro @media_dept ahhh! I was just about to ask the same thing. Didn't know about Sepiasearch either... so thanks a lot!

@papernoise @media_dept no problem!

@amassaro @papernoise @media_dept maybe they don't have global search enabled?

It should offer you to search the entire "vidiverse"

@lps @amassaro @papernoise thanks I'll have a look. I'd thought Sepia was just for finding a host domain and even then it shows only a few?

@media_dept @amassaro @papernoise you're not wrong in thinking that peertube discovery is not ideal.

I tend to get most my discoveries by following the hashtag #peertube here or visiting the bigger sites like tilvids, spectra.video etc then following remotely... It takes a while but like #mastodon it has an organic growth.

I really hope at one point we'll be able to boost videos we like that could be tracked by a fediwide database of sorts.

Until then share what u find here:)

@lps @media_dept @amassaro there's an entire website dedicated to searching peertube.
