First Look: Loops, by Pixelfed
Loops is a Fediverse TikTok alternative by the creator of Pixelfed. We try the app out for a spin, and give our honest thoughts.
Is the loops app on fdroid?
Nope, only from GitHub at the moment
Here is the official website: https://loops.video/
There is the download, privacy policy, etc.
So did the Pixelfed app just never materialize? It seems like all work shifted over to this Loops app.
The pixelfed app is in beta, but you can use it. In my experience it's pretty unstable right now

Edit: figured I should mention, I just use pixeldroid right now which is less unstable https://f-droid.org/packages/org.pixeldroid.app/
Yeah, I just got the TestFlight access to Loops and itβs janky. A useable web UI would go a long way.
If Kellogs/Fruit Loops doesn't jump on this bandwagon, what are we even doing here???
Am I supposed to celebrate the diarrheafying of the fediverse? this is the exact bullshit that ruined Twitter and Instagram. Why the fuck is it a good thing that is coming to shit all overthe fediverse?
Downvote for bullshit diarrhea content. Fuck off. Fuck off your Twitter and Instagram and vine bullshit. Really, drink shit from my asshole if you have not yet gotten the message. Fuck off.
You're supposed to be celebrating the more widespread adoption of federated software and a break away from centrally controlled corpo environments in general. This is the public retaking the internet for themselves.
If you don't like the particular content, cool, don't go there. I don't go on Mastodon either but I can appreciate why it's there.
Exactly!
I don't hate TikTok because of its short videos, I hate it because the app is an assault on privacy and potentially a subversive tool to influence the public.
Jesus, someone shat on the wrong side of the bed today
They side they roll out of, evidently
Vine was amazing, what are you talking about??
Only if you had zero brain cells, and needed to borrow one. The rest of the planet had better things to do with their day.
