The point of federation is that each instance has it’s own unique selling point.

Dividing instances by interests makes sense in sites like Mastodon but not in Lemmy because Lemmy already has a way to select what interests you.

In my opinion it would be better to have a main peertube that displayed the most relevant videos from all instances and implemented that sepiasearch. And leave the details about how to create instances and the fact there are 861 PeerTube websites on another tab instead of the main page where it’s just confusing people.

In one extreme there’s youtube, that wants to make you addicted and in the other extreme is a platform with no algorithm to suggest content. I would like something around the middle. But that was just an example. I wanted to focus on why each instance focuses on a different community of people instead of trying to bring them all together.
