My plan for Loops was to use your Pixelfed account for auth, and thats all good and all but when it comes to federation, I think this warrants a separate followers collection.

I'm considering either creating a new outbox like collection for Loops that are delivered to all followers, or a separate account with its own outbox and follower collections.

What are your thoughts?

@dansup i would prefer separate account, maybe like instagram does with threads. But also the option to be completely separate, might make it eaiser to onboard my tiktok addictive friends ;D

@dansup yeah for me separate account for each platform is the best, much easier to manage your activity

@dansup Uhm... first, you know my preference for LDAP backends. ;)

Second, I like the idea of having independent accounts that can be summarized into a „persona“ thing. So that you can follow a person/persona with all of their accounts or follow separate accounts

Third, supporting multiple auth backends would be nice, so local accounts and federated accounts, maybe via some sort of support for Keycloak federation or else.

@dansup If it’s a separate app, then I think separate accounts.

If you were going to use Pixelfed accounts, might as well build Loops into Pixelfed itself like Reels is on Instagram.

@dansup When I first got into Fedi, I wanted to — and was frustrated I couldn’t — post from one account to all the things, but came around to the value of having different accounts for different services for different interests.

@dansup many of these different social media’s (microblogs, personal photoblogs, personal video shares) have different circle of friends, acquaintances, random people you’d want to share them with.

One way to enable that is separate (external) account names, an other could be what (I think) Google+ did with its circles & what Insta kinda does with “close friends”.

I don’t know the best solution, but just wanted to add my thinking on the topic.

@dansup You can always do an OIDC flow. That allows you to have a common login and identity for those who want it but still have separate accounts
