Loops Joins the Fediverse
blog.joinloops.org
We're excited to announce that Loops now federates with the fediverse. After months of development, ActivityPub support has officially entered beta. Your loops can now travel across the open social web. What This Actually Means If you're on Loops, you can now follow creators on Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, and any

Anyone know if they’ve actually open sourced everything yet? I haven’t kept up with things and I know that was an issue for a while

    Would be nice if they could work on their iOS app. Right now it’s functionality is so bad I dont even want to use it

    I had no idea what Loops was. Nice I guess, though short form content is just not something with which I want to engage.

    it’d be cool if their android app could get updated. and they fix the feed from just showing you the same string of videos constantly.

    other than those two things im sure it will be awesome.

      I have been doing some uploading there for a few mths. My biggest gripe is that they support 60 second videos, but anything over 15 seconds (for me) never finishes uploading.

      I have seen the repeats too though.

        I see a lot of these threads praising loops and i have never been able to use it effectively despite my efforts. =( and I have really wanted it to.

        I am curious about the length restriction as well. I wonder if these are all things they’re going to address and fix. but you’d think they’d have done all that before making announcements and whatnot.

      I think someone told me in another thread a while back discussing loops that at the time it was only like certain libraries and whatnot? I wasn’t sure if that was still the case, or if that person was right, or what 🤷‍♂️

      I’m not an especially technical person so I don’t really remember details though 😅

        No they were right - but now it’s the whole server so people can stand up their own.
