This version comes with a small technical challenge that we're proud to have overcome! This new feature won't be as visible as a graphical change, but...
I use it from time to time. The tech is getting better.
But it’s very hard to find anything interesting on it.
They REALLY need to focus on implementing content filter and discovery tools.
Right now it’s a lot noise and reposted videos. The search function doesn’t work at all.
I think the platform could be viable with a decent, verbatim search function; a tag-based browsing system, and the ability to visualize the federated instances and browse any of them as local.
It’s still possible to find interesting videos by browsing an instance focused on a specific interested as local.
I would love to use it more, but there is just nothing on there to watch except for a few channels that just mirror a YouTube channel, or niche FOSS content.
Does anybody use Peertube here? How is it? Good content? Accessible from mobile?

Hi,
Can you paste examples of when the search doesn’t work? And are you talking about the PeerTube instance builtin search or https://sepiasearch.org/?
