Here is a comment I posted on one of the videos of @[email protected]

This is helpful as you don’t need to create a Peertube account if you want to engage in the video’s comment section.
EDIT: Subscribing to the user like a Community is better than searching the video. Try this link if works in your instance - [email protected]
So if I understand, your instance needs to “discover” the user then subscribe to it before it shows up in your feed
However, you need to search the video in Lemmy before you can post your comment. I’m not yet sure why but my lemmy username is not (yet?) recognized in Peertube page:
Most Podcasts live off of Patreon and no compensation from hosting services. And still they are out there. I don’t see the difference to videos. The only thing youtube has over peertube is visibility. But one can argue peertube in combination with some other fediverse service like Mastodon or Lemmy can fix this and give you more visibility for your videos.
