That's a really good question! I've had a look at the PeerTube documentation and searched the Github but I'm not 100% sure.
There's a synchronisation option which is just labelled "Remote channel URL" and as examples it gives YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion (docs.joinpeertube.org/use/chan…). I'm not sure what happens if you try to sync an RSS feed with this, guessing it wouldn't work but could try?
I'll ask around about this and do a post if it's possible.
