Spread the word, the fediverse now has an open source TikTok alternative that is truly decentralized. #loops #loopsDev #tikTok #activitypub

Loops is federating with Mastodon and Pixelfed 🥳 I'm still doing some tests, and will be pushing the ActivityPub PR shortly ✨ #loops #activitypub #federation #mastodon #pixelfed

The fediverse needs better developer resources. The kind ATProto has. Fixing that gap: rich documentation, interactive examples, instant prototyping. Built indie-style with FediDB, browser.pub and other community resources to create a better foundation for the next generation of fediverse developers. Sometimes one spark is all it takes. Share if you care ✨ #ActivityPub #soon

So Loops has public hashtag feeds, but they are limited for guests, and after reaching the end of the limited feed, will show this modal instead of what Pixelfed does (which is only show 20 posts per tag even though there are more). I think it's a much better UX, and while I'd love to provide infinite scroll feeds for guests, it would be easily abused by (AI) crawlers. Privacy and Safety come first 😎 #loops #loopsDev

What should people that use Loops be called? Please help a small creator and boost this 🥺 #loops

I've been busy wrapping up the final parts of Loops ActivityPub federation! We will ship with two modes (Open and Lockdown), the latter allowing you to restrict federation with allowed instances only (and enforced via AuthorizedFetch) You can also disable Federation support I'll have a better ETA this weekend after some more testing ✨ Thanks to phpstan, this may even ship this weekend 🚀 #loops #tiktok #activityPub #federation

Loops already has powerful data controls, allowing you to export and even set data retention limits! Full account migration between Loops servers is coming later this year ✨ #loops #fediverse
