FYP
Personalized video feed
FYP is an initialism for "for you page," the algorithmically curated main feed on TikTok and similar platforms.
Users hashtag content #fyp hoping the algorithm will boost it to others' feeds: Finally made it to the fyp!
The term has become shorthand for viral exposure on short-form video apps.
