You can host whatever it can handle, sure. Your limits are the resources available as with any machine.

tysmm, I was gonna buy one to host a few things on but I needed to be sure before I did

With the current pi prices, buying a used minipc might be cheaper and give you more resources.

Sometimes it's a power consumption issue.

In my case I could use a pi in terms of CPU and ram but I need a lot of SATA. After putting in a perfect energy saving MB and a picoPSU I am idling at 16 watts. But id preferred a pi regarding power.

But yeah sff PCs are cheaper and much more powerful.

Here is a page listing some system requirements for Peertube. It says 4 cores and 4GB RAM for 1000 viewers, which some Raspberry Pi systems have.
