I'm interested, and I hope it's successful.

I'm not sure how they're going to attract creators, when Tiktok already has the same features, has a larger audience, and pays... But I hope they can because I'd love to dump Tiktok for something open source.

I wonder how their FYP will work, because honestly that's a huge part of what makes Tiktok good.
