How do you search PeerTube? (lemmy.ml)

Often, I try to find 10-20 minute videos about interesting scientific topics, ttrpg design or board game design. In the past I used YouTube to scratch that itch, but I love PeerTube's vision so I thought I change to PeerTube for that.

However, I find it much harder to quickly find a good video. Good doesn't mean professional, but clear title, good mic and mostly fluent presentation of the given topic. I use the PeerTube search; not on a specific instance.

Is there a trick to improve results? Are my topics too niche? What are your experiences?

PeerTube isn't going to be a drop-in replacement for Youtube, but it can provide a back-up or alternate source for a channel that might break some guidelines or risk mass reports. I like using it through NewPipe/PipePipe to blend with other sources. You can make a playlist with Youtube, Soundcloud, Peertube, Bandcamp, and BilliBilli, and aside from buffering the experience is seamless
