From PC Mag: With TikTok’s future in limbo, rivals X (formerly Twitter) and Bluesky have introduced vertical video feeds similar to those popularized by the China-based platform.
The announcements were made late on Jan. 19 ahead of the short-lived US TikTok ban. "We had to get in on the video action, too," said Bluesky. The decentralized platform’s video feed is accessible from the Search tab on its mobile app. Here, users will find a new "Trending Videos" section, which they can pin to make it appear on the home screen or add to their list of feeds.
Since this is a custom video feed, standard feeds and posts "that contain video don’t automatically enter you into a video timeline," Bluesky says.
X introduced its own video feed an hour before Bluesky, calling it “an immersive new home for videos.” However, unlike Bluesky, X’s release is limited to users in the US.
