the fediverse now has a fast growing TikTok alternative: https://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.

#loops

Loops by Pixelfed

Loops, explore and share short videos on the fediverse. Available soon!

@dansup 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?

@BackFromTheDud @dansup It looks like boilerplate ToS generated with Termly. If you declare in Termly's form that your app/website accepts user generated content, Termly's generator will include an unreasonably restrictive licence in the draft ToS, without any option to choose a more nuanced wording (at least to my knowledge). IMHO these terms are not suitable for any service which relies on UGC and wants to encourage users to contribute.

@dansup 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?
Show threadHollieNov 24, 2024

@dansup 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!

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

Curious to see the possibility of this integration.

> "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.

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.
