Each instance of peertube is like youtube. There can be many users and users can have many channels. You can choose which instance you want to upload to, since different instances will have different storage limits, user limits, content policies, content focus, moderation, site layout, etc. Or you can run your own instance if you want full control over your content and the site as a whole.
Different instances of peertube can follow each other (doesn't have to be mutual - think twitter follow) and essentially share content to improve discoverability (think twitter timeline showing content from all the instances you follow).
- scottmcdot 8y agoI see, thanks for the clarification. When it came to searching for all content across all instances (in a way like how we can search all content on YouTube) is this something that would be possible?
- executesorder66 8y agoAccording to [0]: > The administrators of a PeerTube instance can follow each other. When your PeerTube instance follows another PeerTube instance, you receive the videos preview informations from this instance. This way, you can display the videos available on your instance and on the instances you decided to follow. So you keep control of the videos displayed on your PeerTube instance!

- andypants 8y agoYou would need to find an instance of peertube that is following all other instances. There are several peertubes that try to follow as many other instances as possible, but there will always be private or unadvertised instances. If nobody knows a particular instance exists, then nobody can follow it and its content won't be discoverable.
