Comment on Throwing ideas out for lemmy
73ms@sopuli.xyz 7 hours agowhere are you getting the idea that Loops is five years old? Seems more like less than two years. From what I can tell it was publicly announced March 2024 (not yet available at that point): wedistribute.org/2024/03/loops-by-pixelfed/
In October 2024 it was starting to accept limited signups. The git repo has commits dating back to December 2024.
Federation for it is definitely still a WIP but I don’t see much reason to doubt that it will be a fediverse platform.

Lol I had to do custom range search to find that link, originally it was an interview dansup did talking about loops was 5 years old and an pixelfed project. I guess now it’s it’s own thing

thanks, that’s interesting to see… I wouldn’t say that what we mean by Loops now has been around for that long but it does show he has been thinking about shortform video for a while and used the same name as the experimental feature had.
