Does every PeerTube instance store all other instances’ content metadata (title, description, comments)? Would federating virtually with YouTube (through a YouTube frontend like Piped) give a too high ammount of data to store on other instances?

    You don’t need to do that. PeerTube already has the ability to mirror YouTube channels, and yes, it would be far too much data. But you can do a personal backup of YT channels on your storage if ya really want to.

      It would have been great to view and comment YouTube content with a PeerTube account. But it would needs a different approach on storing other instances metadata.
