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?

One option is https://sepiasearch.org/

Cheers! It provided some good results, but still not perfect.
