I have tried to use PeerTube a number of times (when it comes up on HN, which it does very often). It is absolutely appalling in both usability (confusing, ugly and borderline hostile design) and technical (videos buffer constantly - this is table stakes for hosting video) aspects. I understand the appeal for uploaders, but I will never consider switching to PeerTube as a viewer. I won't even click a link to a PeerTube video because I know in advance it won't play properly.

Cross-instance replication is well-supported by Peertube (the software) and if an instance is not loading well from your area you could consider using a local non-profit (or just ask some friends) to host a local peertube instance to replicate the content you find interesting and make it more easily accessible locally.
