What would be an appropriate name for a community to share short-form videos? (lemmy.ca)

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).

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.
