It does, but then most admins immediately turn it off. I uncovered this problem a few months ago.

The only idea I have for PeerTube is to federate by default.

I think it does

Then why is every instance I’ve seen completely or almost completely undefeated?

Which instances have you looked at? Most of the big instances federate with others. Except for Tilvids.com. You can still subscribe to other channels though.

This is not true at all:
Why? Well, let’s look at the top servers. The first hit is a French server, with mostly French and European content. The first US hit is bestgore.fun, which based on its name alone, I would exactly call quality content. The next one is swebbtv.se, which claims to be in the US, but is clearly a Swedish server, and immediately assaults you with a donation screen when you go to the first page. It also does not have any federation.
The next US one is phijkchu.com, which appears to be somebody’s personal instance with just their videos? It also doesn’t have a lot of federation. You have to go pretty far down the list to find something like diode.zone, and even its federated list is only 25 or so instances.
What do you define as “big instances”?

I dunno. I went through dozens of them. Most only federate with <5 other servers.
