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

Loops federation update: I just finished the admin dashboard updates for federation support! Loops will make it really easy to manage, just take a look at this demo ✨ I think we're ready. Stay tuned. #loops #ActivityPub #tiktok #reels

Mastodon

Mastodon (@Mastodon@mastodon.social)

We’re taking another step in building a sustainable financial base as a non-profit. Today, we’re announcing new hosting and support offerings, ...

Now this is how you do it. I'm so proud of Mastodon for realizing the need for official/trusted hosting, and now providing that to help sustain their operations. They could have taken VC funding, introduced ads or built a paid verification badge system. Instead they chose the ethical route, and we should be so thankful for that. Kudos to @npub1vl7j...f6g0 and the rest of the team, you're a huge inspiration to the rest of the fediverse ❤️ #ethicalSustainability View quoted note →

Ice Cubes with Liquid Glass is a vibe, I love it 😍

While others build walled gardens, we're preparing to tear down walls. As TikTok creates separate US and global apps, we're putting the finishing touches on ActivityPub integration in Loops. Soon you'll share your loops across the entire fediverse - no borders, no corporate silos. The future is federated. 🌐

Loops - Short videos. Your community. Your rules.

All the fun of short-form video, none of the corporate control. Loops is federated, open-source, and designed to give power back to creators and co...
