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.

Maybe it should've been integrated as a part of pixelfed like how reels are on instagram ? Because it can benifit on the aldready existing userbase and would be much less work all the servers have to inrease the file size allotment tho. Maybe that's not those userbase want idk never been there

So, one interesting aspect here is that you can log into it with your existing Mastodon or Pixelfed account. Loops and Sup both seem to be building on the idea that you can use existing Fediverse accounts to log in, meaning you don't necessarily need to create a new account and navigate a new platform all over again.
