You can disable P2P.
You will only see content from other instances, if your instance federates with them.
However, some instances allow “global search”, which means you can practically find everything through search, from all the other instances.
It’s also possible to subscribe to channels from other instances, even though your instance does not federate with said instance.
If you go to the About > Network page, you can see which instances is federated with yours.
This is how the settings look like for a PeerTube admin, regarding global search and subscribing to remote channels:
Thank you for respond. But how do i know if instance supports "global search"?
I think if you start typing in text to the search bar, it slides out and gives you the options to either search locally or globally.
Look for this, under the about page of the instance.
