First does not have a special meaning on Tik Tok. It means the same thing as it does in general. If you are posting a video on Tik Tok, you want the people to see your video first and share it so that it’s the first thing that they see on their feed.
To do that people use “#fyp” on their video which has been said to put your videos first on other people’s feeds.

However, it is known that using #fyp makes the probability of your Tik Tok video spreading to more users.
