Peertube videos show up en lemmy, you just have to click the link to get to the player or the home instance. Some instance have extensions for the players like chapters and such. Lemmy could at most offer a very simple player without p2p. That is more a client than lemmy issue. Videos are always links if I remember correctly

    No videos, no feed

    Only video is from a year ago

    And we're not even getting to the point of clicking on a post for comment. No channel logo on any of these. No comments.

    Nobody is even trying to support this, despite being the whole fucking point of the protocol.

    Yes, synching channels does not appear to work. The communities/channels are not updated, but the posts basically work if you or somebody else on your platform enter the URL of a video into the search.

    Even if it would work, it probably would not update since nobody on your instance subscribed and I don’t think Lemmy federates posts of communities that aren’t subscribed. But I’m not sure how it is now.

    That the comments don’t seem to work is odd indeed.

    You can interact with any video and comment.

    I just threw the link of the newest video into the search of my instance: https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/spacequesthistorian@spectra.video

    It has one comment because I actively put https://spectra.video/w/aTouTCEzdPEdWuwsYU8LQZ;threadId=59658 into the search

    Edit: I opened an issue for starting commenting from PeerTube, since that seems to be broken

    I can't show you directly, as fedia.io requires login to access the platform (scraper protection), but I was able to open the channel by searching for their handle, the page showed up videos (also recent ones) and the video-posts had comments. The page show the channel-logo and every post had the thumbnail of the video.
    One click on the title when you have to post open, and it will open the original page in a new tab, which then can play the video. Even better: Mbin automatically inserts the embedded viewer for the posted video, so you don't even have to leave fedia.

    So please don't draw conclusions from Lemmy to all fedi projects.

    I'm just talking about Lemmy, since that's the platform that I post on.

    ActivityPub has been around for 8 years, and IMO, the Fediverse is not evolving. It is not federating the way ActivityPub was designed for.

    From this I thought you are referring to the fedi platforms in general. I saw later you wrote specifically about Lemmy; so ok.
    Still, my example shows that the Fediverse is evolving (even if it might be slow). Lemmy and Mastodon might be the biggest platforms out there, but they might not be the ultimate prestige examples of our network.
