Then you could make one with some friends/colleagues or a local non-profit you're involved with. Peertube is federated software: it encourages deployment in existing human circles rather than global discovery of random stuff.
In education circles, i know Peertube is part of the apps.education.fr suite of free-software apps for teachers, but i don't know of practical use-cases. I assume it's useful to group class levels into separate channels so students can see the videos you showed in class from home.
> I have to create an account for each tube, no thanks.
No you don't. The protocol is federated so from your Mastodon/Peertube account you can follow any Peertube channel on the condition that your instance has not blocked federation with the remote one.
> Clicking "English" still brings up non english listings, furthering the difficulty of using the app.
This is a specific to the project homepage advertising many instances in many languages. But on well-moderated instances the language flags should work just fine, at least for local content... the problem is with admins/submitters not setting language flags properly not with the software itself. The project homepage could definitely use more manual curation, but that would be a full-time job in itself for a project that's developed by a handful people financed by a medium-sized non-profit (Framasoft) and crowdfunding.
