My problem with tiktok/reels/shorts is not that they aren't federated. It's the entire format/concept I hate.

I think I might like them better if they didn't auto-play. I hate anything that auto-plays.

Don't all modern browsers allow you to disable auto-playing of video, even per-site if desired?
