I have registered a fresh domain and start publishing content. At first google indexed the whole website but later deindexed all pages only homepage is indexed. Few thousand urls are under crawled currently not indexed status and few under discovered currently not indexed. Now you will say the content might not be the quality one and bla bla. But let me tell you that again I registered a fresh domain and put the same content with same title and tags and hosted on same server. Now google indexed the whole website and everything is fine.

But the new domain is of now use so I want my old website to be indexed. I have removed that new domain from google index.
 
your problem (in my opinion, but correct me if I'm wrong), is that you've published 1000s of articles on fresh domain.

This thing used to work 2-3 years ago, but now it's considered spam because it's a clear sign of automation (which human can write 1000s of quality posts in a short time and publish them all on a fresh domain?)...

So yeah, I don't think the domain itself is the problem, but the fact that you've created 1000s of posts in a short period of time (I assume weeks)
 
Its a video website.
 
Yeah, Googles been inconsistent with indexing lately. Try adding fresh internal links updating a few posts or pushing some social signals it often helps pages get reindexed.
 
Tried all such tricks nothing works in my case.
 
I had this issue on 2 of my sites. An old site with hundreds of pages already indexed had this "crawled, currently not indexed" error after I published over a thousand pages at once. I let it slowly index and it took Google around 2 months to index all pages. I have updated content multiple times and manually submitted some of the pages during this phase. Another new site has a similar issue. I'm fixing it by improving authority and trust.

Google doesn't trust new sites and bulk content. Google has extended sandbox for some TLDs as .top so regular TLDs index faster. Google checks 3rd party sites for references. If your site is isolated without any references anywhere on the internet, Google sees it as a threat. You should try creating author page and official social media pages for the website. You should also create some high quality backlinks.
 
Your old site isn’t fully indexed because Google may see it as a lower-trust or duplicate version. Fix canonicals, submit your sitemap, ensure internal links, and be patient full indexing usually follows.
 

This is a common issue. Even without technical problems, Google can delay indexing if the same content exists elsewhere. Submitting a sitemap, adding internal links, and getting a few backlinks can help. Make sure canonical URLs point to the site you want indexed. Patience usually solves it within a few weeks.​
