Loops could be the first experience of ActivityPub federation for many people.

That's why I'm focusing on public share links, easier onboarding and invites.

The ideal fediverse app is one that hides the complexity of federation while embracing it.

Like being able to invite your friends with a single link, all they need to do is provide their email and desired username and we'll onboard them and they will follow your account automatically.

You can have viral growth without sacrificing privacy

@dansup I think a really difficult problem is how to avoid favoring a single large instance during onboarding, without overwhelming new users to the fediverse with numerous instances that have no visible differences.

@dansup what I don't get about loops is that the feed is chronological.
Is this something you want to change in the future or is it working as intended?
Because imo a chronological feed doesn't work for something like TikTok.

@dansup awesome! BTW, found a bug. Can't change profile pic. If one was set, no matter how many times I try, it doesn't (Android)

@dansup I believe this was also major for bluesky's success over mastodon.
