TikTok users have been deleting the app at a higher rate since the company announced that its U.S. operations would be housed in a new joint venture.

The short-form video platform’s daily average app uninstalls in the U.S. have increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.

I downloaded it. It's very barren right now, no more than a few comments per post, if any. Hopefully it gains some traction

I know it sucks but you’ve just gotta shitpost through it. No comments? Guess you gotta generate some content. We are the algorithm, and we are the bots, here on fedi.

It was like that here when Reddit ~~fell~~ caused people to leave and look for something better. Give it time, and interact!

It's still kinda like that here.

I think its mostly because of lurkers, but also, I first joined on midwest.social then something broke the feed and caused a bunch of federation issues. Now this is my "alt" but I can't see content from piracy@dbzero or whatever now

lemmy.world had blocked and then unblocked a bunch of piracy communities two years ago, that community being one of them

But it looks like lemmy.world is currently not federating that piracy one specifically, maybe I missed another announcement

Think of it as an exclusive club where your content has a higher chance of being seen by elite users

Kinda like fediverse in general. That's the price of a non-corpo platform

ive poked around on there over the past year or so. not much to see and often quite broken.

what client do you use? it seems as if it even removed your own default upvote, maybe it's the thing that is broken
