TikTok users have been deleting the app at a higher rate since the company announced that its U.S. operations would be housed in a new joint venture.

The short-form video platform’s daily average app uninstalls in the U.S. have increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.

I downloaded it. It's very barren right now, no more than a few comments per post, if any. Hopefully it gains some traction

It was like that here when Reddit ~~fell~~ caused people to leave and look for something better. Give it time, and interact!

[–] rigatti@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's still kinda like that here.

I think its mostly because of lurkers, but also, I first joined on midwest.social then something broke the feed and caused a bunch of federation issues. Now this is my "alt" but I can't see content from piracy@dbzero or whatever now

lemmy.world had blocked and then unblocked a bunch of piracy communities two years ago, that community being one of them

But it looks like lemmy.world is currently not federating that piracy one specifically, maybe I missed another announcement

I can’t see content from piracy@dbzero or whatever now

Does that include comments?

[–] myserverisdown@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

No, I see comments just fine, but the community is blocked

Think of it as an exclusive club where your content has a higher chance of being seen by elite users

I don't see how few comments is a bad thing? Do you really sit and scroll through the vile idiocy that is tiktok comments? Nowhere does more comments etc. mean it's better. If anything less people is good.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Do you not see the irony in replying to my comment in order to comment that comments are full of vile idiocy?

[–] jaennaet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

If anything less people is good.

Maybe get off social media, then

ive poked around on there over the past year or so. not much to see and often quite broken.

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

what client do you use? it seems as if it even removed your own default upvote, maybe it's the thing that is broken

[–] sqw@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 weeks ago

I always un-upvote myself. I tried the latest loops client, it's way more performant than it used to be. id say the only thing i didnt like about it was the overlap in the feeds and the wrap-around feeds. if it's out of content, it should just say so.
