I know of peertube, which is similar to youtube.

But is there anything that is similar to instgram reels, tiktok type stuff.

I imagine it doesn’t exist because the hosting costs would be exorbitant, but I’m curious incase something like it does?

    Well with short form videos your feed could be something more like a Twitter feed where you scroll through content from the accounts you follow instead of a grid of recommended videos where you click on one that sparks your interest. It is a different experience. Just like you could have a blog where every post is under 140 characters but why do that when you could just use Twitter. (disclaimer I do not claim to understand what has happened with X/Twitter now just assume I’m talking about old Twitter lol)

      yeah feels like its just a gui issue. filter for length then maybe an option in settings. actually my mbin instance scrolls like that and can auto do video. if there was some way to filter the feed for only video of a certain size or less. seems like it would be just what you are describing.
