the fediverse now has a fast growing TikTok alternative: loops.video

While it remains in a pre-release beta state atm, we are testing federation and will be releasing full federation support, along with the source code once stable.

And we expect by this time next month, you will have a bright, shiny and easy to install TikTok alternative under your tree 🎄

Spread the word. Loops has arrived.

I am using an app called Openvibe to post to NOSTR, Mastodon and Bluesky. any indication this could be integrated into that app, or have you been in contact with their devs to see about being included?

question?

Does one need to find a separate instance for each of these #cms #apps ??

@Vivaldi possible to incorporate these add-ons to streamline efficiency and limit redundancy or is that being solved by encouraging all to host #blog with you?

#IRL does everyone need their own #Mastodon instance + #loops + #pixelFed to unlock the door to #freedom ?

I’ve been beta testing. So far it’s nice, but there are some critical issues with navigation and feeds. I see little iterations here and there. Are there any significant improvements to UX/UI in the works?

Seemed cool, so I signed up. Great. Then tried to sign in and it said the credentials don't match your records (the password field is invisible so I can't make sure it's accurate, I have to just keep putting it in again and hoping), and when I gave up and just tried to sign up again, it said my username had been taken. 🤔 I checked my email and there's nothing from that domain so I didn't get any account confirmation.

That's about all the energy I have for this. Good luck!

when I try to sign up it has a non-changeable email address of jappleseed@me.com which seems...odd, for a onboarding workflow.

Hey @dansup, will this project be able to access media from PeerTube servers over ActivityPub?

Curious to see the possibility of this integration.

i tried to sign up, never got a confirmation email, and now when trying to reset my password I see an error that this email does not exist, but if I try to sign up with it I see that it has already been taken?

> "releasing the source code once stable"

If I had gotten a Dollar or Euro each time someone said that and then never released it, I probably would be rich by now.
Please either release the code from the beginning or don't expect me to use the stuff.

Deleting an account is made unnecessarily difficult. In Mastodon or Pixelfed you go to settings, enter the password and confirm deletion. I don't believe this "We are working on automating the account deletion process", existing process looks more complicated than adding a button to delete an account and a password field.

If you register with an email address from which you cannot send, e.g. using DuckDuckGo Email Protection, it is impossible to delete your account.

I signed up, but there isn't anyway to upload videos right now? I can't change my profile avatar? The bio area is like 23 characters, so not really useful for getting a bio up. I'm not sure why the service is released, but nothing is working.

It seems Loops does not accept new users at the moment. Tried to register today (when sign up was still open) but actually it didnt work well.

I guess we have to wait for a while.

But im glad to see that @nlnet did fund this project too.

@uastronomer This looks interesting and promising. I wish you would've put in a way to be kept up to date via email or something because I fear I might forget to check it out again!
