Okay, I figured it out. On my end you have to convert an "embed" code into a "watch" code by manually typing into the url. On that updated instance on mobile they use peertube's built-in link shortener which generates "w" links instead.

After a lot of experimentation I found both "watch" and "w" links work, but there's an awkward/newbie unfriendly procedure to it:

  1. Paste "embed" link and convert OR paste "w" link
  2. Search returns no results
  3. Refresh the page or Search a random word to reset the search box
  4. If using the random word method, put the video url you just deleted back in and search a second time
  5. Discover that a Lemmy post generated because of your first search, but wasn't displaying until you reload the page.

Additionally, one or two random videos display lemmy posts immediately but not all. Not sure why that is...
