A bit paradoxal but it looks that all central platform (twitter, reddit, facebook...) are helping the spread of Fediverse. Recently we saw the impact with Twitter on Mastodon, myself I've discovered Lemmy even if I wasn't a reddit user. And before that Facebook first spread friendica and diaspora. It looks next step will be around Youtube where Google try to lock more and more its user.

P2P based high-bandwidth uses seem really hard to implement on mobile. I can absolutely see why a mobile app wouldn't be a priority for them since it is significantly harder to impossible depending on local mobile contracts.

That’s actually a great point, thank you for bringing that up, I hadn’t thought about it that way. IIRC, can’t PeerTube fallback to non-P2P video as well? Perhaps not ideal but might be a way of getting stuff to mobile users.
