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.

Very nice. Welcome to the party.

"Loops is a short video sharing platform."

This is great! I may get back into this. Does anyone know if there is a directory of instances?

Can people even setup their own Loops instance yet?

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.

And if anyone is on iOS and wants to give their beta app a spin:

Bröther may I have some lööps?

Any fellow kickstarters round these parts?? 👋

Are there apps for this yet?

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.
