Mastodon and Pixelfed support video uploads, but apps on their APIs can't deliver TikTok features—that's SkyLight's limitation.
Loops For You algo requires deep platform integration. It's architectural, not something you bolt on afterward.
You should checkout Loops 😉

Counterpoint: what if For You didn't require "deep platform integration"? Because with the success of the For You feed on Bluesky, that's evidently possible and valuable. But Loops "competing" with Skylight is just dead silly. You and them have more in common than you and instagram.
You've publicly said you're emulating Meta products — mastodon.social/@dansup/1160...
Skylight is trying to do something different, but you're both small fries in the world of Meta and TikTok. Collaboration would make you stronger together, fighting each other makes you look silly. Zero-sum game.

You would be well served by actually having a conversation with @buildwithtori.com@bsky.brid.gy and @reedharmeyer.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy rather than beefing with them, Dan. You can do better than this. I know @quillmatiq.com@bsky.brid.gy can help facilitate.
Yes, Skylight builds on Bluesky's infra & lexicon right now, but that doesn't have to be the way for ever. At least, hopefully not. Working together would get both platforms further. Fighting or beefing doesn't serve anyone other than egos.
