The fediverse answer to TikTok is on its way.
Signups opened this week for #Loops, a short-form looping video app from the creator of Instagram alternative #Pixelfed, reports TechCrunch.
Users who’ve signed up can post up to 60 seconds of video, according to details shared by developer #Daniel #Supernault on Mastodon.
He added that using sounds and remixing others’ videos is coming,
as are pinned profile videos,
and that users will be able to “curate” their comment sections.
Videos can be categorized, but hashtags and mentions aren’t yet supported.
The Loops Pixelfed account has posted example videos. Supernault has posted screenshots and screen recordings, as well.
