Quando pubblico un video su Mastodon si federa su Pixelfed ma non su Loops. Veramente strano. Vi risulta?

If @loops supported some kind of crowd-content moderation, with configurable rules, like
Show me all the videos with the #cat tag where at least 3 pepple confirmed is of cats. Then I can configure an account and feed for my kid to spend some screen time. This would be much more advanced moderation/customization than what Instagram and TikTok would be willing to implement.
Is something like that possible?

Introducing Loops Admin Invites

Admins can create custom invite links w/ custom messages, max # of uses, optional expiry date and more ✨
These invites will work even if registration is closed, and are easily updatable via the admin dashboard.
You can even reactivate deleted/expired invite links 😉
Shipping Soon!

I also added a bunch of new i18n keys for the new Loops Invite feature, almost every string (besides the admin dashboard) is translatable.
I even wrote a few commands to help me find duplicates and analyze them.

The beauty of #ActivityPub
Yes, Loops federates, and admins can enable any remote instance video posts to appear in local follower feeds AND you can even include them in the For You page ✨

Wow, 100x favorisiert und 40x geteilt. Da sag noch einer das #Fediverse wäre inaktiv... Auf die richtigen Inhalt kommt es an. Danke euch!

Loops segmented notifications are a vibe.
When we ship DMs, your most recent convos will appear here, along with a new Messages section.
Also, being able to notify all users with System notifications about new features is also super cool, can't wait to ship the next one.
Yeah it's heavily inspired by TikTok, but users do love it. TikTok copied a lot from others, like Stories.

Looking at the stats, it’s clear Loops isn’t just retaining new users — they’re engaging more, especially when we ship new features.
I'm so proud (and a bit surprised). 🥹
A year ago: big hype + an early platform, fair criticism about the Terms of Service and missing source code.
Today: fully open-source, better Terms, federated, a gorgeous new mobile app, and a For You feed people actually use.
Don’t give up. Keep shipping. ❤️

15 days of watch time in 21 days 🤯
Just to make this clear, the 371 hours of total Loops For You feed watch time is actual time spent watching, it isn't the (duration of the video * view count)
Safe to say that the fediverse does love ethical algorithms, and we're really just getting started 🚀
15 DAYS of watch time… in just 21 days.
1,332,000 seconds
22,200 minutes
370 hours
15 days
That’s the total time the Loops.video community has spent on the new For You feed since launch. That is wild.

I finally fixed the Loops + Crowdin integration issues, and just pulled in all the community translations!
We went from 5 supported languages to 28 ✨
The new i18n translations will be merged shortly.
Translators Wanted 👇

If Loops supported non-public visibility settings too, and we implemented local-only, unlisted, local-only unlisted and follower only, are there any others you'd like to see?
Off the top of my head, I can think of a "password protected" scope that is local-only and unlisted, and requires a specific password (that can be pre-filled via query params) to view.
Let's hear your ideas 💡

Hey @dansup, cool stuff with #loops. Congrats, that's hella nice to see an alternative to tiktok and youtube shorts.
Did you submit your apk to F-Droid? If not, would you consider doing so? I'd love to try it, but I'm not going to install an apk from a random website, nor will I grant my browser the permission to install unknown apks. Even temporarily.
Thanks!
Shoutout to @shlee for making the first Loops feature request back in July*.
I just spent tonight implementing it (it was really complex due to our snap scroll & feed logic)
It's shipped and available 🥳
A cool side effect is the new Appearance Settings page, I had to put the setting somewhere 😅
