Last I heard, and this seems to be the case as of this moment as well, only a few accounts are federated for testing (as in, maybe just one?). Mine definitely is not. Of course, this could change at any moment since it's released as alpha.

Question: can they get sued for putting TikTok-like in the description, or does that only apply when you’re making money?

IANAL, but I don't think there's a reasonable ground for a lawsuit (although there's nothing prevent an attempt). It's not claiming to be TikTok, that would be a clear trademark infringement. It's just saying it's similar to their service, and if you want to compare it (which is allowed), you have to refer to it somehow. Similar to when people say LibreOffice is an MS office alternative - Microsoft wouldn't have the grounds to sue there, either.

In case you’re serious (or for anyone else who may not know), it means “I am not a lawer”

Make a PR to replace it with “Shortform”

I don’t mind “TikTok-like”. I just think it’d be a silly reason for the project to shutdown.

They built it with PHP? Oof.
