Because it’s brand new and will eventually federate. The developer is deep in the fediverse so 100% it will

It’s really not a technicality to get worked up about.

They’ve done federation on a few test posts, but it’s definitely not there yet for normal users to use.

My understanding is that it will when it’s more strange and that the dev did the same thing with Pixelfed.

im a big fan of not marketing your product until it can do the things you intend. theyve been spamming loops everywhere for over 6 months.

It’s also very featureless. Basically videos, comments, likes. I’m on it, and I’ve opened it maybe 6x in 2 weeks? I also think it’s just an open feed; all the videos posted in chronological order (but I could be wrong here). Idk if this goes against the Fediverse creed to have an algorithm-fed feed, but I think part of the nature of these short form, endless-scrolling apps is finding vids about your interests from new places.

Well Microsoft has been doing it for 30 years.

With the Tiktok ban I think marketing it prematurely has been a good thing and introduced a number of people from that world into the fediverse.
