It's worth stressing that you can get around Google's totalitarian restrictions by installing PeerTube from F-droid.

If you're on Android, you should probably consider using F-droid whenever possible anyway. Personally I like Droid-ify, which is an F-droid client with a nice interface.

If you're on iPhone, you're out of luck. The EU might eventually come to the rescue of European users. American iPhone users will probably not be surprised to learn that they are shit out of luck.

Ah, sorry, it's in the context of what Elena Rossini writes about the limitations of the mobile app.

As PeerTube draws content from independent servers, it's hard for them to comply with the content policies of Google and Apple. The PeerTube app you can find in the App Store or Google Play Store therefore only contains content from a very short list of whitelisted PeerTube instances, where Apple or Google have accepted content from these instances to be presented in their app ecosystems.

F-Droid doesn't have such limitations, and as a result the stuff you'll find in the F-Droid app is the same as you'll find in https://sepiasearch.org/ .
