Whoever comes up with a close facsimile of TT will win the Internet, in the US anyway.

I checked out pixelfed, but it's too much like most any other social site - seeing pics from one account only until you change to another account.

The nice thing about TT is you see a variety of vids coming across your page.

The algorithm figures out the vids you like and share, and then you see more from that genre.

The For You page shows vids from these genres and the Followers page shows vids only from accounts you follow.

I'm not a computer person, but this doesn't seem like a difficult concept to replicate.

YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels are both "close facsimiles" of TikTok. Twitter Periscope was before TikTok. None have won the Internet. It's not just a question of short video, or algorithmic variety, or any particular feature. Features are easy - it just takes programming. Getting people excited is hard.
