the fediverse now has a fast growing TikTok alternative: https://loops.video

dansup

While it remains in a pre-release beta state atm, we are testing federation and will be releasing full federation support, along with the source code once stable.

And we expect by this time next month, you will have a bright, shiny and easy to install TikTok alternative under your tree

Spread the word. Loops has arrived.

@dansup I am using an app called Openvibe to post to NOSTR, Mastodon and Bluesky. any indication this could be integrated into that app, or have you been in contact with their devs to see about being included?

dansup

@thedudeabides420 its possible, but they need to reach out or wait until the docs are published!

@dansup question?

Does one need to find a separate instance for each of these #crm #apps ??

C = content NOT customer in this case

@Vivaldi possible to incorporate these add-ons to streamline efficiency and limit redundancy or is that being solved by encouraging all to host #blog with you?

#IRL does everyone need their own #Mastodon instance + #loops + #pixelFed to unlock the door to #freedom ?

@cmthiede @dansup @Vivaldi
While I know that work is being done on linking user databases in such a way that a single instance can offer multiple interfaces for the same account, generally speaking, you have to have accounts on multiple servers to use multiple services.

Flipping that around however, having multiple accounts like that is a common and accepted practice on here, and it's easy to link them together in your bio. Being able to easily split your presence between multiple accounts for multiple kinds of content feeds is one of the nice features of the Fediverse. So there's no issue with just making accounts on two different servers.

@dansup is the algorithm any good?

brotherJeffrey

@dansup Thanks, I seem to be awaiting confirmation

Cybarbie

@dansup so how does its algo work?

seb

@dansup For some reason the iOS app doesn’t have sound on my iPhone.

@dansup tried to signup, it's been a day and still did not get any email and I can't log-in. When trying to register again, it says username is already taken. Wtf?

@dansup this will be brilliant

Ursan Marius Bogdan :mastodon:

@dansup Sounds like nice project I hope people find it useful

benny

@nf3xn @dansup why algo? Did they say they use one?

Nik | Klampfradler 🎸🚲

@benny @nf3xn @dansup Of course they do.

(Hint: SELECT… ORDER BY date_posted; uses an algorithm. Even without ORDER BY it uses an algorithm because database page layout is determined by an algorithm.)

benny

@nik @nf3xn @dansup you are right, but I doubt this is what was meant

Nik | Klampfradler 🎸🚲

@benny @nf3xn @dansup I think "it displays newest posts first" would be a valid answer to the question and one of the answers a person asking it can expect.

I see Dud people!

@dansup AWOSMEEEEEEEEEEEEE

@nik @benny @dansup That you thought injecting this useless piece of mansplaining was useful or relevant.

@nf3xn @benny Have you considered not using social media, or a comnunication platform in general, if you can't stand people exchanging views, knowledge or information?
