At least there's such a wide variety of content on Reddit that you might find things you wouldn't find on TikTok. Reddit isn't usually associated with trend-chasing as much as other popular social networks, but other recent experiments like voice chatting point to that possibly changing. This is obviously a small development in the grand scheme of things, as it's entirely possible to keep browsing Reddit's iOS app in the same way as before without ever engaging with the video feed button. A Reddit spokesperson told Mashable that Reddit is 'still in the experimental phase for this feature' without offering any other specifics.

The feature doesn't seem to be available in Reddit's Android app yet, or at least it wasn't on the particular Android phone I have.

It may take time before Reddit's algorithm can match TikTok's. Similarly, I was served a Minecraft video despite only following r/Rainbow6, a video game that is decidedly not Minecraft. By 'in the orbit,' I mean I follow r/Cats and it showed me a video from r/Dogs. The video delivery algorithm is obviously based on which subreddits you're a member of, as mine gave me videos that were at least in the orbit of the various video game, sports, and cat-related ones I subscribe to. You can do all the typical Reddit interactions (upvote, downvote, comment, etc.) while watching these videos, as well as keep scrolling to see more from your favorite subreddits or ones that Reddit deems to be similar to them. I saw straight up TikToks with that app's signature watermark and everything while browsing Reddit's video feed. In other words, if someone posts a link to a YouTube video in a subreddit you follow, it probably won't show up here, but if someone directly uploads a video, either their own or ripped from elsewhere, it might. Tapping that button will take you to a very TikTok-esque rolling feed of videos uploaded directly to the site.
