Thanks for the detailed answer! :) I have discovered a matrix bridge that can puppet my account which is pretty cool. Need to find out how to use it properly though. I moved to matrix and its great so far.
Peertube is a bit of an odd one. It has good content but i hate the discoverability. I just opened an issue with the creators. Let's see if that helps. So find peertube content, use sepiasearch.org.
