Curious if it'll gain any traction. The dev already has an instagram clone.

If instead everyone who creates content also ran their own instance

this can't be it, sadly. All of the best content creators on tiktok are not in the position financially or technically to host an instance of anything, let alone configure and maintain it. This is especially true for journalism, politics, and ordinary goofball content, which in my mind are three things tiktok is best at and are critical to its value. There has to be a way for someone with no technical background and no money to share their voice if this is to be "federated tiktok".

true, that is the fundamental flaw of decentralized anything

Journalism: the instance is for the newspaper/radio/TV/... not just one journalist. Politics: party instance.

That reduces the load. And other areas can do the same. A game development company can have one instance for everything and everyone related to the company.
