I don’t think that’s true.

It’s my understanding that by federating, you are duplicating the data from the servers you federate with on your own.

You might want to look more into how peertube works then.

The server itself has the option to turn that off or on. And most dont turn that on. Its off by default.

Source: I host a peertube instance.

  Does this mean users won’t be able to see videos hosted on other platforms from your instance?

    Thats a good question.
    
    No it still allows you to see their videos, it just does not create a copy. Its just a passthough.
    
    EX:
    
    …abnormalbeings.space/…/k7oGP4hkGWMx2oJxpw6KUd which is being passed though
