Loops Joins the Fediverse

  I’m sure it still has a ways to go and adoption is key but this just sounds like what the internet honestly needs to fundamentally exist

  This isn’t just about connecting platforms—it’s about fundamentally rethinking how social media works. Instead of being trapped in walled gardens, your content, your followers, and your identity can move freely across the open web.

    I agree. For example there are some groups on fb I would like to be a part of but I hate the fact that I have to have a fb account

      Fb does not work from my phone, it gets glitchier every year. They are too busy on their stupid metaverse and counting their money to fix those glitches apparently.

  “Loops is a short video sharing platform.”

    Is it like some FOSS Tiktok alternative?

    • dontsayaword@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Precisely

      No clue, I just followed a couple of links deep and found that description. I guess TikTok/ Vine.

  This is great! I may get back into this. Does anyone know if there is a directory of instances?

  source

  • 0_0@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    https://fedidb.com/software/loops is the only one I found so far

    • gedaliyah@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Fantastic. Looks like there are a few that people have spun up. Thanks!

    Also loops.fediverse.observer/list

  • ByteMe@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I have no idea but I doubt there any, federation just happened. Could be wrong tho

  For anyone else who was thinking of starting an instance, local storage is still a no-go right now

  S3-Compatible Storage Required Currently, Loops requires an S3-compatible filesystem (like AWS S3, MinIO, or DigitalOcean Spaces) for avatar and video storage. Support for local storage is on the way but is not yet implemented. Please ensure you have S3 credentials ready before proceeding.

  source

  • smiletolerantly@awful.systems ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    To be fair, you can simply selfhost MinIO.

    source

    • avidamoeba@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah, I wouldn’t bother implementing local storage if I could easily roll a local S3 in the docker-compose.yaml.

      source
    • LedgeDrop@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Cloudflare provides 10 GB of free (forever) S3 compatible storage too.

      Good to know, thank you! I haven’t touched S3 storage yet in my self hosting journey

  • GeraltvonNVIDIA@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Any fellow kickstarters round these parts?? 👋

  • Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I donated sometime during the big fundraiser in January or so. It took a while but they did release server code a few months ago, and it’s nice to see that it’ll federate with other services soon.

    Elaborate:))

  Are there apps for this yet?

  source

  • CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    There is one you have to sign up for on their site. I’m assuming it’ll be GA shortly.

  did they fix the feed and algorithm issues yet? or is it still doing the thing where it shows you the same feed every time you open the app.

  source

  • Tune@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Loops doesn’t have an algorithm, it just shows you the most recent videos uploaded to Loops.

    source

    • Nima@leminal.space ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      ahhh well. hopefully that changes to give a bit more usability. but thank you. good to know.
