I have a personal peertube instance and would like the channel to get indexed. For some reason, the serach engine sepiasearch does not work with any peertube videos nor the channels on the instance.

Is there something I need to do specifically?

EX: https://sepiasearch.org/search?search=teddy_the_dog%40piped.chrisco.me&page=1&resultType=channels

Does not show up, but the channel totally exists and is indexed on independent instances.

Hmmm, for mine, it worked as soon as I had added it to the index - it then took a few days for the videos themselves to show up in the index. One thing I could imagine happening might be, that maybe videos already on the instance before it was added on the index will take even longer? In that case, maybe removing and re-adding them might work? But that's a wild guess.

Another thing that may have happened - if adding the instance recently definitely isn't the problem - maybe it got blacklisted from sepiasearch somehow? But if that were the case, I don't think they'd do it in a "shadowban" way, and the instance would just be removed from the index - unless I am misremembering their moderation policies.

Whatever is causing it, here's hoping you'll have a solution soon, and good luck solving the issue.
