Given that Pixelfed is designed as an Instagram alternative, it seems like it’d make more sense to just put the short-form videos on there.

    Didn’t Instagram add those stupid things because it was desperately trying to compete with TikTok?

    I love having a platform that isn’t trying to do short form portrait video. Everywhere wants to do it and I detest the medium. It’s so boring!

        Uhhh, no? I get that I’m apparently alone in that, but I find both the format and the cadence of content it results in horrible.

          That’s the thing, if you stay on it longer, it will start to serve you content more interesting to you to make it more crack like.

      I wouldn’t mind one doing true short form, Vine-style, but watching somebody talk into their phone for 2-3 minutes? Hell no.
