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).
VideoHaikus
Reddit had YouTubeHaikus, which were short (often less than 15 second) videos. If you’re focused on short-form videos, then “haiku” at least expresses that.
!gifs@lemmy.world is basically the same as short form videos.
I was of the same opinion up until the reddit API ban. Then I had a period of not having what to do while on the toilet. Leaving alone at the time video sound was not a problem and I gravitated to yt shorts for some doom scrolling whilst pooping. Now I see the appeal and usefulness since so much time people spend on the phone instead of a TV or monitor. But as usual people abuse it, long vertical videos or landscape videos cropped or resized are terrible.
