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?

I alsi wish search was better.

But I'll often look at https://piefed.social/f/fediversevideos and see who uploaded something new. If your on piefed, you can subscribe and it pulls a collection of channels across the entire peertube/fediverse.
