Short-form video might in fact be the next frontier for federated media. The dev behind a popular photo-sharing platform is diving in headfirst.

The Fediverse might be getting their own mashups of Tiktok, YouTube, and Vine sooner than anyone thought, thanks to the work of one prolific dev spearheading an effort. The best part? He’s helping other projects in the space, too.

    Pixelfed is really interesting, and this sounds like a fun project!

    The only problem major problem I have encountered with trying to use defederated social medias, outside of Lemmy, like it and mastadon has been the lack of discover ability. I guess I don’t know how to properly utilize the platforms, but I never find much that is particular to my interests

      Idk this has never been too difficult for me, I just piggyback other people’s connections. Like literally find one person that seems cool, stalk their reposts/likes/follows for other people that seem cool and follow them too. repeat as necessary until you have a good feed built up.
