A Fediverse Alternative to TikTok (lemmy.cif.su)

In the last few months i really gotten into the whole Fediverse thing, but i noticed that, despite it being the most popular Social Media Platform, there isn't a TikTok alternative. I know there is Loops, but it's not open source or federated yet, so it's not really an option. Why is that?

because the team building it are better at marketing what they want it to do rather than what it actually does.

doesnt federate. doesnt embed. requires their app or view only in their walled garden. so far its just yet-another-short-form-video-site

That's exactly what I'm worried about.
