What would be an appropriate name for a community to share short-form videos? (lemmy.ca)

I wanted to pick a name that's generic and not specific to any particular platform. For example, !microblogmemes@lemmy.world instead of !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

I don't see a community for that yet, aside from !loops@midwest.social, which is specific to Loops.

Some sources of the content could be:

  • Fediverse Loops
  • Tiktok
  • Instagram Reels
  • YouTube Shorts

The sidebar could include guides on how to link to the content in a more accessible way (ex. alternate front-ends or re-posting).

If you post the file to somewhere you can directly link to it (I.E. wvvw.notawebsite.com/file.mp4) it will show up as one. That said, I don't know of any hosts who allow sharing of Video content this way. Some clients also embed YouTube properly, and I wouldn't be suprised if PeerTube worked too, but I have yet to see anyone directly try and post PeerTube content.
