The app shut down briefly in the United States recently.
Billions of people use TikTok, only a fraction of which live in the United States.
Bluesky’s new video mode has not yet made it third-party apps on PC such as DarkSky.
But scares like this make people look elsewhere.
Creators want stability and to know their audience will be there.
Users also want an app that is stable and available.
App makers are working hard to make their respective platforms a destination for users leaving TikTok.
Bluesky also joined in on the fun with a new video mode.
Bluesky now supports custom feeds for videos that you could navigate by swiping.
To enter the new mode, it’s crucial that you swipe up when viewing a custom video feed.
Any custom video feed should work, but Bluesky shared a link to itstrending video feedas an example.
The AT Protocol Developers community is also working on video-only apps that use Bluesky as a source for content.
One of those apps,Skylight, saysthat it is “using atproto to build a TikTok alternative.”
Another app calledBluescreen, states that a short video client for Bluesky is coming soon.
Bluesky notes that you may have to kickstart your app one or two times to see the new feature.
Do it for the Vine!
Is Elon “gonna do it?”
Bluesky is not the only app that could serve as a destination for TikTok users.
Elon Musk says that X (formerly Twitter) is “looking into” bringing Vine back.
X (then Twitter) purchased Vine in 2012.
Back then, Vine did not even have an iOS app.
Vine remained active until 2017, when it was shut down.
Despite over 69% of participants voting yes to reviving Vine, the social media platform did not return.
