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.
Bröther may I have some lööps?
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.
To be fair, you can simply selfhost MinIO.
Cloudflare provides 10 GB of free (forever) S3 compatible storage too.
Yeah but why would I make myself dependent on Cloudflare.
To be clear, the announcement has been made, but federation isn’t actually enabled yet, at least not on the official instance. Verified by searching for loops accounts from mastodon.social and vice versa.
So… another year then?
“Loops is a short video sharing platform.”
Is it like some FOSS Tiktok alternative?
Precisely
Are there apps for this yet?
There is one you have to sign up for on their site. I’m assuming it’ll be GA shortly.
