    PeerTube overall lacks decent support for subtitles, which is my answer to all of the questions. Veronica Explains is (so far) the only channel I make an effort to watch on PeerTube because she provides subtitles.

    I’d be more than happy with terrible machine-generated subtitles at the bare minimum since they are enabled by default on YouTube when uploading a video. Accessibility is quite important imo

      There’s actually a plugin for PeerTube that generates subtitles for videos.

        As an end user that doesn’t seem to help me? How am I to use a plugin?

          It’s a plugin that the admin of the server need to install, for you to be able to use it.
