Loops is a Fediverse TikTok alternative by the creator of Pixelfed. We try the app out for a spin, and give our honest thoughts.

    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

      https://pixelfed.org/mobile-apps

      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 it’s janky. A useable web UI would go a long way.

      Brands should be banned from social media.

        Disagree.

        A LOT of what I use social media could be classified as brands.

        Game Grumps is a youtube show. I’m excited they’re on bluesky.

        The Cleveland Guardians are a baseball team in the MLB. I’m excited they’re on bluesky.

        You could classify them as brands. They use social media to promote themselves, and I use social media to interact with those brands that isn’t available otherwise.

          A sacrifice I’m willing to make.
          Agree to disagree, then.

    Interesting! I’m glad the fediverse is expanding in this way.
