  I downloaded it. It’s very barren right now, no more than a few comments per post, if any. Hopefully it gains some traction

    It was like that here when Reddit fell caused people to leave and look for something better. Give it time, and interact!

      It’s still kinda like that here.

        I think its mostly because of lurkers, but also, I first joined on midwest.social then something broke the feed and caused a bunch of federation issues. Now this is my “alt” but I can’t see content from piracy@dbzero or whatever now

    Think of it as an exclusive club where your content has a higher chance of being seen by elite users

    Kinda like fediverse in general. That’s the price of a non-corpo platform

    ive poked around on there over the past year or so. not much to see and often quite broken.

      what client do you use? it seems as if it even removed your own default upvote, maybe it’s the thing that is broken

        I always un-upvote myself. I tried the latest loops client, it’s way more performant than it used to be. id say the only thing i didnt like about it was the overlap in the feeds and the wrap-around feeds. if it’s out of content, it should just say so.

    I don’t see how few comments is a bad thing? Do you really sit and scroll through the vile idiocy that is tiktok comments? Nowhere does more comments etc. mean it’s better. If anything less people is good.

      Maybe get off social media, then

      Do you not see the irony in replying to my comment in order to comment that comments are full of vile idiocy?

  Cool to see how much loops has grown even just in the last year. It gets more and more viable as an alternative all the time. Love seeing the fediverse continue to grow

  It must be really demanding in terms of hardware and network to host video content like tiktok. I wonder if the fediverse voluntaries will be able to keep up with it if the userbase grows too much

• emb@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Oof, this still isn’t up on F-Droid or either main app store. That’s a shame, I thought this moment would be a great time for Loops to get some user base, but it seems like it’s still not ready for wider adoption.

  That said, it does look a lot better now than it did a few months ago when I last tried it. Here’s hoping it picks up some momentum. I finally tried TikTok last year, and was really impressed by the breadth of videos and how quickly it was able to start showing me things I enjoyed. With the recent change in ownership, I don’t know that I’ll revisit it much if at all. Would take quite a lot to replicate even a little bit of the zeitgeist TikTok had going. But like with Lemmy and Mastodon/Bsky, I’m hoping I can do my little part by choosing where to put my attention.
