Comment on In regard to big instances shutting down and search results

You probably want to use another Lemmy instance to search for this content.
(and actually Sepia Search is simply a search engine for PeerTube and that's it. You are still getting the video only after you visit the instance...)

i dont think you understood OP’s question and underlying points. the point of the question is about getting a working link out of a closed instance link ending up on search results, yes you could do what you just said but OP is talking about a faster and easier way to simplify that process for search engines to give back that working link, at least thats what i understood, plus selfhosting just a search engine of threadiverse/forumverse like Sepia Search would be less resource demanding than probably hosting a whole Lemmy instance just for that purpose, OP is suggesting a different approach or moreso wondering if its already a thing and just isnt aware of the existence of one
