Even more strange is that when I type “PeerTube”, some suggestions appear, but searching any of them will end up back on the “no results found” page.
The suggestions:
Searching one of them:
It has been a few weeks since I first encountered this issue. I’ve tried again and again, but it never worked.
Might be a duckduckgo bug, but have you tried another search engine to see if it works there?
Yes, I tried with SearX, and it worked. I tried another browser too. Same result.
Then with that testing, either ddg filters results, or your ISP doesn’t want you to use ddg.
Edit, or it is because they use bing. But use searx and be free.
What is your safe search setting set to on duck duck go?
If it is set to strict it will result in no results but if you set it to moderate it will return results.
It was on moderate. Turning it off didn’t make any changes.
It is weird that your snapshots don’t have the safe search options shown like mine and everyone elses. Do you have any content filters or anything like that on your devices or internet? They could be forcing it to be strict even if you choose otherwise.
Is Peertube banned iny our country? maybe you’re typing in a URL?
I just tried it with a VPN and it worked. Turning it off and refreshing the resulted in no results again.
But I can open https://joinpeertube.org/ without a VPN. This confuses me.
See if bing does the same. DuckDuckGo mobile kinda sucks
It does!
So it’s probably because DDG uses bing.Yeah then it’s a location thing for your area.
Works for me too
Also remember that DDG is basically a private frontend to bing, just as much as Startpage is a frontend to google.
If bing has any problem with peertube in OP’s country, DDG will have too
so is it actually recommended to use ddg or not, I thought they were the privacy flag bearer
Can confirm this. I tried with bing. Same result. That was why it wasn’t working, because of bing. Thanks! I’ll probably to switch to something else now.
I just looked it up too and it shows up for me in bing, it’s probably your ISP at this point.
The point I’ve made before still stands, not in this case though
