@pixelfed @loops will it have the kia boys content i am craving?!?!?!????!!!!?!
@donnerwolke LüL...TikTok auf Fediverse 🤭
@pixelfed @loops Dansup, can I pleeease play with the Tiktok clone? 🥺
@pixelfed @loops Feature suggestion it there are tags or "themes" to follow:
a plus symbol behind the tag to follow it fast
@pixelfed @loops would love to give it a shot! Awaiting beta program
@pixelfed @loops that's great I guess, obv they're your projects so do as you like, but personally I'd love to see Pixelfed out of beta as a higher priority x
@pixelfed @loops looks promising and could blow up to be poster boy of fediverse.
@pixelfed @loops is the reason to prioritise this (instead of get pixelfed out of beta and into the app stores) because of the possibly impending ban of tiktok in the US?
@pixelfed @loops sorry, but you already have missing features and slow development and bugs in pixelfed and you want to start yet another platform? I know a TikTok alternative would be great, but you either start a crowd funding and try to get money so you can pay active development or you should really reconsider doing that step.
@pixelfed @loops FlopTropica!1!1! I wonder now, how the community is going to be like without all the heavy TikTok censorship, which in a way defined the platform, federated 4 eva.

@pixelfed @dansup Are you aware about https://github.com/Goldfish-Social/Goldfish? Although development seems to be stalled, maybe you can combine your efforts somehow. Good luck!

Edit: I read StuxOS, so probably @stux is behind it.

@joenepraat @dansup @stux Yes, we're aware, and will be helping #Goldfish build their mobile app!

@pixelfed @loops

now you're going to make kids stupid for good. 🙄

@pixelfed finally, we have everything federated
@pixelfed @loops I predicted this would happen! 🤩❤️

@pixelfed Anything that spreads awareness of the Fediverse (in any form) and decentralization, count me in! 🙋‍♂️

And of course, good luck!

@pixelfed @loops yes! Posting short vertical content on PeerTube isn't ideal. I cannot wait for an option like this and hopefully ditch TikTok!
@pixelfed @loops I never made a TT account but I’d sign up to this in a beat
@pixelfed @loops
Very cool! I'm pretty sure with this the fedi nearly has all the platform types covered.
@pixelfed @loops let's goooo! 🎆🎆🎆
@pixelfed @loops Oh wow., This is going to get out of control.

@pixelfed

Not my cup of tea, but a great addition to our beautiful Fediverse. Boosted!

@loops

@pixelfed @loops Really great to see. Looks like there is some interest on #tiktok for an alternative. Looking forward to more. 😎

@pixelfed @loops

I love the idea, but how will content discovery work?

In my experience with activitypub servers. Socializing as in actually talking to people is great, but content discovery can be kind of horrid

Sometimes we do want an algorithm or some means of discovering the popular content  

#fedi #loops #pixelfed

@CupofDalek I think subscribing to hashtags would probably be a great way to do discovery.

@pixelfed @loops

Ich bin gespannt, nutze #TikTok leider zu oft, eine freie alternative wäre großartig.

I'm curious, unfortunately I use #TikTok too often, a free alternative would be great.

@pixelfed @loops

Hopefully this comes with a first party app too! :)

@pixelfed @loops Is it open source?
@be4zad @pixelfed @loops pixelfed is. It gets made by at least part the same guys so it should get open sourced but currently i could not find it
@pixelfed @loops I hope you understand that the killer feature of TikTok isn't "looping short videos", which has been done many times, but the recommendation algorithm
@pixelfed @loops @dansup are you making these apps by yourself?

@pixelfed @BrodieOnLinux @loops would it be possible to follow non fediverse accounts? Without interactions of course.

A sort of bridge to other platforms. I guess I could code that myself too...

@pixelfed @loops Looking forward to this space. How different from peertube?
@pixelfed @loops I can't wait to try this out
@pixelfed @loops really excited for this!!
@pancake They are probably working on Loops faster due to the possible TikTok Ban in the US. Hopefully Loops and the rest of the Fediverse is where people move to.
@samxavia oh didnt though about the US ban. Kind of makes sense
