@FediFollows But how can I know if I want to follow them if I can’t see their existing posts? Is that a peertube limitation or just how things are federated?

If an account looks empty:

1. click open in browser

2. select video

3. Copy url e.g.
tube.kockatoo.org/w/bxK3vvCfAD

4. copy it to the search field of your app and use it to search for posts.
At the latest now, your home instance / your server knows the first video.

Works also with the nearly 200k Pixelfed accounts:

With @newpipe you can also subscribe to PeerTube channels as well as YouTube. But be careful:

@mycelium @josh @FediFollows @newpipe cool, so, after finding a gem like peertube.tv/w/4QTcvrDrQFi44Xrk a local search made the video show up in the account view of @thenerdyneko on indieweb.social because a member, me, made the server aware of it. Nice. πŸ‘

@josh
You can go to the accounts on their original instances to watch some videos.

@josh To add on to the other reply, it's just how things are federated in general. If you view a Mastodon account that your server doesn't know about yet, that's also blank. Same with other kinds of Fediverse accounts too.

To view full content you can hit the three dot menu and open in browser / open original page / whatever wording your app of choice is using.
