    What content would people like to see on this platform? I would think the fediverse audience would be a bit different from your average tiktok or instagram reels user

      I am not average then. I use tiktok to discover musicians, get short informative videos from science enthusiasts, and poetry or life advice.

      Some of these are only possible because of the remarkable recommendation algorithm but I stay hopeful.

        the entire saving grace of the fediverse is a lack of algos and curation of your own content. algorithms have basically broken social media and the way we interact with the web. quality and substance is nowhere to be seen for the past few years and many of those who migratate to the fediverse do so specifically for the improved quality of content - it’s the whole selling point.

          What tiktok does is curate well. But I often find myself searching for new creators by what I already like. Tagging systems and smart groupings can help me customise my feed on my own but are really hard to do by hand. The problem with algos is that I get no say in what they hide and show. I would love my personal bias to be embedded by myself. The problem lies in who controls the algorithm and what their biases are.
