We're excited to announce that Loops now federates with the fediverse. After months of development, ActivityPub support has officially entered beta. Your loops can now travel across the open social web. What This Actually Means If you're on Loops, you can now follow creators on Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, and any

    did they fix the feed and algorithm issues yet? or is it still doing the thing where it shows you the same feed every time you open the app.

    edit: just reinstalled to check. it doesn’t seem to have been updated since February and the feed issue still persists. that is a shame. I hope they can fix it.

      Loops doesn’t have an algorithm, it just shows you the most recent videos uploaded to Loops. At least, in the For You tab anyways.

    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.

    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.

      I have Seen a post that it should be able by now, yeah.

      Edit:

      Installation-Guide: https://github.com/joinloops/loops-server?tab=readme-ov-file

      Didnt host my own instance yet, but it looks like you could build your own.Would also make sense because its v1-beta release.
