People ask why Pixelfed and Loops aren't merged.

Pixelfed and Loops solve different problems.

Pixelfed: chronological, photo-centric, algorithm-free.

Loops: algorithmic video discovery via For You feeds.

Forcing a Reels feed into Pixelfed would compromise both products, you can't build engaging short video feeds without algorithms.

Real community-driven development means listening — and you've spoken: keep Pixelfed pure and let Loops lead the short video revolution ✨
