So far, there is only some user settings accessible in the web interface. I don’t have an iPhone, hence I cannot say for their app. The android app will come later, apparently.

I really wonder if this is just a different frontend for pixelfed that is video-centric, or if it will be something else.

Since it is supposed to be the TikTok of the fediverse, I really wonder if it will, like pixelfed also just feature a chronological timeline? Because what makes TikTok so popular is not the short videos, but the recommendation algorithm that doesn’t even require people to follow any accounts.

If it’s just another chronological media feed then they could have just modified pixelfed to only allow video upload and would jabe archived the same thing. So far I am really wondering if loops is a new thing, or if it will be just another reskin of mastodon/pixelfed/…

Is it possible for me to get an account? How would I go about doing that?

They sound kind of shady, TOS for them is a bit rough.

Sounds like the person who wrote the TOS was all over the place. Likely it’s AI generated.

Loops is currently a one man operation and I imagine TOS was the last thing they were worried about.

I wonder who is gonna host all those fediverse videos for free…For me that’s a barrier to make peertube more popular

There are PeerTube servers that allow a certain reasonable amount of content for free.
