Fediverse alternative for Tiktok?

https://loops.video/
- Requires registration. Also, are there no other instances of it? Also also, what protocol does it use?
  
  It uses activitypub, the same as Pixelfed. It is the same creator afterall. AFAIK, it is not yet federated. It ask for registration because it is pretty much in open beta right now. No other fediverse alternatives for Tiktok except that.
  Edit: more about them on the FAQ.
  
  Loops is still in beta, so there's no other instances yet, but it's gonna use ActivityPub like everyone else does so it can federate with Pixelfed (and probs mastodon). Also, like 90% of Fediverse instances require registration, usually to prevent spam and other crazy shit (CSAM, literal gore, etc.) from being posted. Just gonna have to wait a bit.
- I don't get why loops requires registration. It feels like an instagram pattern and I really dislike it.
- How does loops even work? I thought i can for example follow 3d printing but i can only follow user. Thats useless to me.

Hey did anyone say loops yet?
- Loops.

Not fully bc Loops does not quite federate yet. Check out !loops@midwest.social and as the note says, best viewed from a Tesseract UI, like in your case https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/loops@midwest.social .
But mostly people are waiting on Loops to catch up on its development to do more with it.
Edit: To clarify, you can view all of these without registration. Here is an example post of a Loops video: https://piefed.social/post/342104 and here is a Tesseract powered version on your instance https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/lemmy.dbzer0.com/31948457 .

  I am waiting for the basic feature of searching videos with keywords
- @OpenStars @darkguyman you can see videos from Mastodon, go to a Mastodon instance and search for [@dansup](https://loops.video/@dansup) (the Loops developer username on Loops)
  
  That's neat! Technically you can see videos from the Threadiverse as well but I'm guessing that whole process is streamlined in Mastodon, and I am not aware of any such short-form video communities here.
  Unfortunately, videos on Lemmy auto-play, including those WITH SOUND!!:-(
  Example:
  
  Oh neat, PieFed still auto-plays but mutes the sound, I love PieFed so freaking much! 🥰
  Edit: sorry I should have warned about the political-themed content of the video - it was just the easiest one to grab, unfortunately:-(.
  Edit 2: you can also upload videos as well, here is an example of that:

tiktok alternatives would suffer the same problem that shorts and loops do; they are content creator driven platforms so unless you incentivise content creators to move you just get reposts from other platforms or ai generated slop.

Yes, this is Loops: "Loops is a short video sharing platform.".
However, if I am correctly informed, the planned federation with the Fediverse has still not been realised.
Why " with no required registration"? Where can you simply share videos without any account?

loops

In addition to Loops, there was also Vidzy and Goldfish, but I don't think they still exist?

Loops, like everyone rightly said, but while this initially peaked my interest, at this point I'm a little skeptical about this project. Dev seems very keen to overhype and tease new features, but usually fails to deliver, like the webUI that was supposed to be days away last year but still doesn't exist. For a fedi platform, not being able to access it via a browser on a desktop is the most bizarre thing to me. I'd hate for fediverse tech to follow this mobile-only trend.
