A Fediverse Alternative to TikTok (lemmy.cif.su)

In the last few months i really gotten into the whole Fediverse thing, but i noticed that, despite it being the most popular Social Media Platform, there isn't a TikTok alternative. I know there is Loops, but it's not open source or federated yet, so it's not really an option. Why is that?

Not sure why you would need a seperate platform for such kind of videos though. You can use Mastodon etc. perfectly fine for this kind of stuff.

But I think that is not why the majority use TikTok. Tiktok is more like those TV channels that show an endless number of funny bloopers and cooking shows, and those need semi-professional makers and curators that want to be paid for their work.
