Loops is a new platform for sharing short videos, and it's open source + federated using #ActivityPub
We're really excited to share this sneak peek that showcases the new onboarding flow and discovery features (Connect Mastodon) and look forward to the upcoming beta release!
Are you ready for #Loops ?
An open source/self hosted and federated Tik-Tok alternative, made by @pixelfed has just successfully tested federation!
If you applied to join, expect an invite within the next week! ✨
(We will be open sourcing the mobile app and backend later this summer)
Debating how to handle API usage with Loops, for the FYP, its essential that the client handles reporting specific analytics to the backend to improve the algo (ie: watch time, if you opened comments, share)
3rd party clients may not report that data, and I considered implementing Device Attestation to enforce only official apps, but why?
I'd rather encourage 3rd party devs to consume the FYP apis like the official app, and publish API docs
I think that's the way to go, wdyt?
My loops android client is ready to share! Requires android 7 or greater. Use the link below to join the alpha!
Weiter geht es bei @rebootpolitics mit Staffel 2 
@zwecki und ich starten mit dem Thema #Alltagsrassismus, Updates vom Stadtteiltreff #PlatzDa!, der Reform des #Hackerparagraphen, einer Quelle für gute Nachrichten und einem Interview mit @gogowitsch zu einem absurden Gerichtsverfahren in die 2. Staffel.

TikTok is bigger than Twitter, BlueSky and Threads combined.
Loops has the potential to outshine Bluesky with the impending USA ban of TikTok.
Are you ready to be part of the next big video platform, one that is ethically built with federation and privacy at the forefront?

Happy Friday!
Here is an early look at the Loops web UI that will be launching later this weekend.
Yeah, you won't need an app to use Loops anymore ✨
I just want to take a moment to call out one particularly great contributor to the Fediverse, @dansup (aka @dansup@mastodon.social) and just say that Pixelfed and Loops are just great. Thanks for doing what you do and being who you are!
If you want to know about Pixelfed (https://pixelfed.org) or Loops (https://loops.video) check out their respective websites and send your props to Dan!

Loops is our short video sharing platform, we're running the first server at https://loops.video
While it's not open source or federated yet, we are working on that.
If you are on Loops.video, you will be able to migrate your full account to another Loops server without losing your followers, videos, comments or likes!
It's pretty amazing what is possible with open platforms and protocols ✨
📣 Happy #GlobalSwitchDay to all the brave frontrunners out there!
For whom February 1st came a little too soon, don't worry! Just try again on March 1st and celebrate Zero Discrimination Day in the beautiful #fediverse. Alternatively, you can switch on April 1st, as only fools stay behind ;) or join your friends on May 1st and put your ideals to work.
Help spread the word.

[a very well-written article with a favorable yet realistic angle on the #Fediverse]
"At the heart of these alternative apps lies the Fediverse platform — a portmanteau of "federated" and "universe" that represents a radical reimagining of how social media can work. Unlike traditional platforms where users are locked into isolated ecosystems, the Fediverse operates as an interconnected network of independent servers that communicate with each other through a standard protocol called #ActivityPub."

Loops is built for the people, but we haven't forgot the admins.
We've added some pretty innovative features, like Pages that allow you to add/edit/publish rich pages and optionally add them to the main sidebar nav or footer and limit visibility to guests, users or both.
I appreciate your patience while we prepare Loops for you, and you'll soon see, it was worth the wait 🚀
Loops Studio is built for creators, allowing you to upload new content, review and manage your posts, comments and interactions as well as view analytics!
It just one aspect of the platform that will soon launch with federation support and easy self-hosting.
Follow @loops for updates, or join https://loops.video to be one of the first to experience this 🚀

Hello Loops ✨
I just deployed the first production Loops server, the install guide will be ready soon.
Loops is the ethical TikTok alternative the fediverse needs.
Unique safety features, mental health protections, and user controls you've never seen before.
Open source launch coming later this month - and you'll see why we took the time to get this right ✨
