Nobody is talking about it, because it doesn’t have a central front page for the videos with a global search box. Like this it’s just a fancy video hosting software, nothing that stupid masses can use.

Not really. Like searx, dozens of people can host decentralized but whole network spanning search instances. I think sepiasearch itself could be selfhosted.
PeerTube work just like Lemmy, when it comes to federation. If you are on the front page of Lemmy.wtf you only see content that is federated specifically with lemmy.wtf.
