That's not an alternative frontend, but a different albeit very similar platform. With an alternative frontent you can see the same content, but with better and different features, usually without ads and with better privacy.
Yes, there are several privacy-focused alternative TikTok frontends:
ProxiTok is the main open-source alternative frontend for TikTok1. It allows you to:
Watch TikTok videos without connecting to TikTok servers
Create following lists to track specific users
Access RSS feeds for users and trending content
Browse without ads or tracking
StickTock is another privacy frontend that lets you watch TikTok content by replacing "tiktok.com" with "sticktock.com" in any video URL2. It offers both clearnet and Tor onion addresses.
Offtiktok provides similar functionality by adding "off" before "tiktok" in URLs3. It includes a minimalist feed for watching recommended videos without ads or geo-restrictions.
All these frontends are:
Free and open-source
Self-hostable
Privacy-focused (requests go through their servers instead of directly to TikTok)

Not sure if this counts as an alternative but getting off tiktok, all that mindless scrolling is sucking your life away.
Loops?

Apparently I can't read
(Worse that there don't exist any front-end viable for Facebook/Meta)
