      It was my experience when I tried it earlier this year. Around 5 people posting a lot and the other casual users just uploading tik tok videos.

      It actually reports about 27K monthly active users and is one of the more popular platforms on the fediverse.

        And I still can only get 0 like, 0 comment shaky cam video of a screen capture of ultra zoomed in tiktoks or blasting shitty electronika music at 100dB clipping all to hell with 2005 era Microsoft visualizer videos.

        Just like pixelfed, there is no way to discover anyone except the same 10-12 rotation of people they put in explore.

    Good to know it’s still moving forward. I thought the project died because I’ve never really heard anything since the initial promotion of it a couple of months back.

      Well, it is developed by a sole developer who also solo-develops Pixelfed. The guy spreads himself way too thin, so development moves slow.

    I want to like Loops but I kinda do not like the lack of a recommendation system. And also it needs more users to actually have content. I keep checking it every once in a while, but 90% of what I scroll through are nothing but nature shots.

      Everything has to start somewhere.

      I remember when he announced that videos could be uploaded from the website next week…he said that in February. In August, he said it would be possible soon. There was an instance (loops.gay) that allowed you to do that, but it disappeared.

      The “Explore” tab always has the same 12 videos. Look at it again 6 months later, same videos.

        Makes sense. It was in pre-alpha.

        Now that it’s in alpha, you’ll have 13.

        Once it hits beta, it’ll skyrocket to an even 20.

    Is it finally ACTUALLY AP enabled now? Been waiting on that.

      Answered my own question, supposedly it is.

        Last I heard, and this seems to be the case as of this moment as well, only a few accounts are federated for testing (as in, maybe just one?). Mine definitely is not. Of course, this could change at any moment since it's released as alpha.

        Question: can they get sued for putting TikTok-like in the description, or does that only apply when you’re making money?

    ‘Open source’ misses the point of libre software.

      Another salvo fired in the battle between Perfect and its mortal enemy, Good.

        Only if ‘open source’ wasn’t so blatantly engineered for ambiguity. It’s they’re only hope to derail libre software.

      Libre software misses the point of good sustainable software development.

    Again?

    After announcing it ~7 times.

  • Chozo@fedia.io ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    So does this mean it's in a state where people can start hosting their own instances and begin federating yet?

    source
    • Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Seems like it, but nothing here yet aside from the official instance
