Yeah so Pixelfed added a feature called Loops back in 2019 as a Vine type service

The feature was basically just a grid of videos, and a few months later, I removed it because it wasn't used much.

But it was always in the back of my mind, and a few years later I saw GoldFish and Vidzy.

Then in 2024 I started teasing an independent service called Loops, and we had thousands of signups before it was even live.

So I built the mvp and app.

Ppl complained it wasn't open sourced.

Then I shipped✨

Now there are 40k+ Loopers across dozens of servers!

Loops - Short videos. Your community. Your rules.

All the fun of short-form video, none of the corporate control. Loops is federated, open-source, and designed to give power back to creators and communities.
