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).

!ShortFormVideos works, but it feels a bit technical and sterile?

!ShortFormShares could also work

!ShortFormVideos is what I instantly thought. !ShortFormShares feels less formal. As an idiot, I might click thinking you are talking about the stock market, but once I saw a bunch of videos in the community it would be obvious to me what it's about
