Rollover says I just want to scroll videos. I would suggest loops but im have not used it and am not sure if it ever got to the point where it is federated.
Loops from Pixelfed. Literally a TikTok Clone https://loops.video/
Edit: Sorry I didn’t read your text under the Comic. Then nvm if you were already aware of Loops. Haha :D
TikTok was just a bad Vine clone, and I don’t want a bad TikTok clone I just want a good Vine clone! Because I’m old!
so is loops federated now?
They’re still working on it. All the dev is by a single guy, who also runs Pixelfed. He says he’ll be open-sourcing the code soon so more people can contribute and help get things going, but he wants to finish getting the web interface working first. And apparently he’s been spending a lot of time keeping everything online during the surge of interest, which has slowed everything down.
Not following it closely but afaik on way to it, but not there yet.
Also doesn’t seem like there is an app for it?
There is, it’s currently email invite only. When you sign up they’ll email you a link to the APK.
The jury is still out on BlueSky, but I don’t think that’s going to go well.
If you can’t find shallow, mindless media on Bluesky then you’re not looking.
Also, just go on Rednote, ffs. I peaked in there and half the front page is just “Welcome Refugees! Learn hHow to monetize like you did on TikTok” which is soul-suckingly depressing and reminds me why I didn’t fuck with Instagram or TikTok to begin with.
(Title says it is from 2024, while picture has @2025, so I guess 22/01/2025 :D That darn calendar)
doh. I will go fix. One thing that is nice about the federation is you can edit mistakes in posting which reddit annoyingly blocked. now watch I will be blocked. you will know if the date corrects :)
ethical
bluesky
lol sure
Also you can check nostr if you want something that has both twitter stuff + tiktok like videos, no account required either.
