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!

    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

    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.

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

    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.
