Skylight’s TikTok alternative adds community curators to the mix


Skylight's TikTok alternative adds community curators, custom feeds, and live content.

The option, which launched on Monday in the version 2.0 release of the app, could appeal to users who feel a growing sense of unease about traditional social media platforms and their algorithmic manipulations, as well as those annoyed by the increase of low-quality AI-generated content that’s now filling those feeds. Today, Bluesky is used by over 38.4 million users, who can install, run, and log into an ecosystem of open social apps like Skylight and others built for videos, photos, blogs, wikis, and more. Plus, Skylight’s app now offers a redesigned player with a full-screen mode and allows users to watch videos in a split-screen window while continuing to browse profiles or search for other content.
