Rollover says I just want to scroll videos. I would suggest loops but im have not used it and am not sure if it ever got to the point where it is federated.

Loops from Pixelfed. Literally a TikTok Clone https://loops.video/
Edit: Sorry I didn't read your text under the Comic. Then nvm if you were already aware of Loops. Haha :D

I really want to try Loops but I've never been able to successfully create an account.
Enter the username, email, password, validate your humanity, and then get a message to check my email for new instructions. The email never comes so I'm stuck. Can't log in, can't use the "forgot my password" function.

I have a Loops account; both of the videos there are pretty meh.
Seriously though, there is a giant lack of content there, I've gotten the feed to loop (heh) after about 30 minutes. Great, because it stops the doom scrolling, but doom scrolling is the entire purpose of the app...
-
I was in the same situation, but eventually (like 3 days later?) the email did come. Idk if they're manually processing it or what but it can be damn slow it seems.
-
It took like a week for me to get my email.

so is loops federated now?

They’re still working on it. All the dev is by a single guy, who also runs Pixelfed. He says he’ll be open-sourcing the code soon so more people can contribute and help get things going, but he wants to finish getting the web interface working first. And apparently he’s been spending a lot of time keeping everything online during the surge of interest, which has slowed everything down.

Not following it closely but afaik on way to it, but not there yet.
Also doesn't seem like there is an app for it?

TikTok was just a bad Vine clone, and I don’t want a bad TikTok clone I just want a good Vine clone! Because I’m old!

The jury is still out on BlueSky, but I don't think that's going to go well.

If you can't find shallow, mindless media on Bluesky then you're not looking.
Also, just go on Rednote, ffs. I peaked in there and half the front page is just "Welcome Refugees! Learn hHow to monetize like you did on TikTok" which is soul-suckingly depressing and reminds me why I didn't fuck with Instagram or TikTok to begin with.

(Title says it is from 2024, while picture has @2025, so I guess 22/01/2025 :D That darn calendar)
-
doh. I will go fix. One thing that is nice about the federation is you can edit mistakes in posting which reddit annoyingly blocked. now watch I will be blocked. you will know if the date corrects :)

Lemmy is plenty mindless, thank you.
We’re not really social media though.
Anti-social social media club club
Socialist media
Why not? A collection of links to things posted by people with comments from other people? Seems pretty social media to me.
Meh, we interact with other humans. I'd call that social.
Neither is tiktok. It's just media
Don't forget reactionary!
I can't believe you had the nerve to say that!
Don't forget beans!
If I'm a regular browser then it's definitely dumbed down enough
Probably the most mindless!
