Rollover says I just want to scroll videos. I would suggest loops but im have not used it and am not sure if it ever got to the point where it is federated.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

We’re not really social media though.
Neither is tiktok. It's just media
Why not? A collection of links to things posted by people with comments from other people? Seems pretty social media to me.
So by that logic are old school forums or ms or bbs social media?
By forms, do you mean forums? If so, yes. If you mean like Google Forms, then no.
Yes sorry yeah I meant forums
Meh, we interact with other humans. I'd call that social.
Social is not the primary word in that phrase it's Media. Media the primary function is passive. Where only a few engage those people are the media personalities or in new media influencers. Since lemmy is so small most people engage since is not big enough to be used to make money or influence people to make other people money. So lemmy acts more like old school forums with a big webring than social media.
I disagree. We are sharing media. Whether or not the poster has a large following or is making money is irrelevant. What matters is that we're socializing, of a sort, by sharing media with one another.
While true and I can see where you are coming from. My logic is we are sharing media meaning this is not the media in of itself. If this is social media, do you consider a discussion board like the ones that use phpbb social media? Honest question.
Yeah. I see any kind of online platform where users interact with other users and share media of any sort to be social media, so forums and discussion boards would fall under that definition. Reddit and Lemmy aren't much different from those types of forums. Granted, that is a very broad definition of social media, but the term itself is very vague.
Socialist media
Anti-social social media club club
That's what I like about it.
