Title.
Some are calling Loops (https://pixelfed.social/loops) the FediTok (Federated TikTok). What’s your personal stance on this?
I never got into the short form video thing but anything to get more people onto the Fediverse is a good thing
I’m happy about any new features that draw more users to a federated alternative :)
I never got into vertical video, not my type of thing.
But if something like that is a way for someone to reduce stress or do anything in a bored moment, then why not.
That’s a refreshing take to have on things.
Ofc! That’s what I use them for haha, destressing.
Bröthër may I have some lööps
Can’t be bothered, tiktok is cancer, and I don’t need an alternative.
They are working on loops but yet Pixelfed doesn’t have push notifications yet.
I hope they support UnifiedPush
I just want a notification 😂😂😂😂
So do I, but I don’t have Google play services on my phone.
I think they will push an update through their native app, at sometime in the future.
I don’t watch reels, shorts, tiktoks or any other short for videos and Loops is not an exception. I moved from Instagram to Pixelfed for the sole purpose of getting atleast some audience for my photography since Instagram wants you to post videos instead.
What’s your profile? Let me drop you a follow!
I’ve been waiting for something like this. A FOSS, federated TikTok alternative that doesn’t send my data to the Chinese and doesn’t sell it to data brokers sounds pretty great.
I’m more looking for a federated RPAN than a tiktok.
I was thinking about Loops earlier today. I’d love to implement Quiblr’s For You recommendation algorithm for Loops and see how it performs. I haven’t joined the beta though so not sure how baked it is yet
I was never into this type of content cayse I don’t wanna touch tiktok nor instagram. This does seem interesting though
I still haven’t figured out why people like them except to annoy everyone around them by playing the audio through their phone speakers.
