What is the fediverse equivalent to TikTok? (lemmy.world)
 

Obviously Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc. are federated decentralized equivalent to their centralized counterparts, but what is the counterpart in the fediverse to TikTok? It is a dominant app for millions of people, and as far as I can tell the closest thing is Peertube, but isn’t that more of a YouTube equivalent? Does it not exist because the bandwidth and storage costs are just too great? Or because the algorithmic nature of content selection is inherently anti-fediverse in some way? Clearly many people choose to interact with each other this way, but it seems like a gap in the fediverse and I was wondering why.

Delete the login and re enter it. That worked for me

Why doesn't Lemmy implement an anonymous post feature? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Arguably if you are worried about remote admins, that’s not a problem-you just issue the creation of the Note without an owning user or pointing to a magical AnonymousCoward user and change the server code to allow that. Then when the note propagates across instances nothing links it to the original user. Of course the downside is the original user won’t get notified of replies to the post and such, but so much is the price of anonymity, I guess

But an evil instance admin would also be able to log the IP of the throwaway account too. So that’s not any better. The bigger issue is with the moderation side - how do admins deal with troll anonymous posters? Blocking an account is less useful when there’s no account. Arguably it could be a community-specific option to allow anonymous posting.

Yes. This is my new Reddit replacement

Is there a way to hide all posts pointing to a domain name? I.e. ignore all posts pointing to CNN or Fox .com in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Actually, a scriptable filter (JavaScript? Lua?) for individuals might be nice in a client app or web app
