There's now a Fediverse alternative to TikTok called Loops. It's currently in beta testing so it is rough round the edges, but you can sign up and try it for yourself. More info at:
You can follow its official account at:
➡️ @loops
There's an iPhone app just released at:
➡️ https://apps.apple.com/app/loops-by-pixelfed/id6499375182
Loops now federates with the Fediverse, there are several Loops servers and Loops accounts can be followed from Mastodon etc (e.g. @dansup).
@FediTips @NoRomBasic @loops @dansup Maybe it'll give TikTok users a place to go. 🤞🏻 I have zero interest in short form videos.
@FediTips @DavidGoldfield @loops @dansup does anyone if this is accessible?
@roaratron @DavidGoldfield @tsyum
Perhaps @dansup would be best placed to comment?
Fair enough!
Also, people on Mastodon and Loops can follow each other and interact with each other, so there's no need to switch platforms unless you really want to.
@FediTips
Oh thanks for that. I’m very easily confused nowadays with the rapid changes with tech.
Yeah, online stuff is getting a bit too short-lived!
On the other hand it's nice how some traditional online things like email are still going strong 🙂
Someone else just asked too, I'll copy you into the thread in case we get a response from the developer about accessibility features.
@FediTips @loops @dansup when you can host content directly and not use s3 etc then I’ll run an instance. There’s no point for me
In supporting fediverse concepts that leave the most critical part on third party systems anyhow. Look forward to when that’s sorted so I can support more decentralised stuff.
This is a bonfire demo instance for testing purposes. This is not a production site. There are no backups for now. Data, including profiles may be wiped without notice. No service or other guarantees expressed or implied.
