As much as I find the idea great. The killer feature of TikTok is how easy it is to publish a video with filters and musics. Not sure how well a federated application can follow. Then, there is TikTok algorithm which is a common critic of the app but is how you get a never-ending flow of content which isn't uninteresting enough for you to turn the app off

The filters and music are certainly doable.
I'm not sure the endless scrolling is something that should be emulated.

I think there needs to be some kind of discovery algorithm for new users with an empty feed (or even existing users who just wanna find something new) but a federated alternative doesn't need something as powerful as the tiktok algorithm to be a decent replacement. It doesn't need to surface a "never-ending flow of content" because it doesn't have a financial incentive to keep you in the app endlessly.

Nice! Excited to see what this looks like

Wow!

I hope it's like peertube that people can share bandwidth?

Since Pixelfed already supports that, I would assume yes.
