 don't mind me, I'm over here celebrating and wondering how loops accomplished: - 9k users in its first week (a fediverse record) There were some hiccups and I'm still working on the much anticipated 8th build, but we did it! We made fediverse history together. I'm so proud ❤️ @pixelfed how about a paid feature to create a portfolio and be able to connect a domain name to it? Shoutout to @nlnet ❤️ I'm working on finalizing the @loops grant and once that is ready, I will be able to get paid for my development of #loops Who makes bank? You, the fediverse. Thanks to @nlnet, you will have a viable open source federated TikTok alternative. So go remind your political representatives to support NGI/NLnet funding if you live in the EU! Spread the word + please boosties 🚀   @dansup I'm very glad that @nlnet exists and is able to fund all these cool projects. Really hope @EUCommission doesn't go through with this: https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/17/foss_funding_vanishes_from_eus/ When I was a kid I was obsessed with electronics and technology. I would take things apart just to see if I could put them back together. Then in 2016 I joined Mastodon and two years later started @pixelfed I was an autobody technician, and now I’m living my dream as a developer. And it’s thanks to you, the fediverse. You pushed me to believe in myself and become a better leader, dev and person. I am forever grateful and am dedicated to pushing the social web forward ❤️

  Reminder that I'm still actively working on Pixelfed, not just Loops, and shipped some pretty cool features over the past few months, like Profile Carousels last month. https://pixelfed.social/dansup?carousel=1&clean=1&autoplay=1&interval=2500

@dansup Thanks for the great work. Any hope for a post scheduling feature? Like a post queue? So many photographers work in batches but the nature of their workflows but want to spread out the sharing of content over time. I would post so much more if this existed. I'd still engage plenty. Probably more (this is how Tumblr works for me now) @dansup hey, I keep trying pixelfed but the login button on web (ffox android) does nothing when pressed. On pixeldroid the home tab scrolls for a hit but quickly runs out of content. Don't know if that's deliberate? If you don't want to get feedback over masto, fair enough, please ignore 🙂. thanks for your work on what looks v promising!  https://loops.video is now a week old! Over 9000 users have uploaded 1775 Loops and posted 1110 comments and hit the like button over 14600 times.

@dansup I must not be getting it. I don’t see any good way to curate the type of content, so it just feels like rolling a random die on the entire user base’s videos. It this what TikTok is like too? Seems hard to get attached to it.

 @dansup@mastodon.social @loops@pixelfed.social I might actually use loops whereas I'm not interested in TikTok or most of those corporate sites. Loops iOS users: We decided not to enrol all users into the TestFlight, rather make it opt-in so there isn't any wasted seats (by Android users). Join the TestFlight via: https://loops.video/beta/app/ios  @pixelfed@mastodon.social I sometimes get the impression that the development behind PixelFed (and by extention, Loop), does not like Android users. That is unfortunate. We added links to our Loops Android and iOS app on our website!

Someone joined our Discord to post that @vidzy was a better alternative to Loops. It's not a competition on the fediverse, because no matter where you are, everyone wins. I love supporting fellow #fediverse projects, and look forward to working with the Vidzy team on federation and potentially a universal API so clients will be interoperable with both Loops and Vidzy. You should follow them, they need more visibility ❤️

@dansup oh there's an apk download? Gotta get my brother and friends right on there. An F-Droid release at some point would be neat too.
@dansup
Hi Dan, speaking of fedi history, I have some questions.
1) Has it been integrated into the fediverse yet?
2) Can we block videos/creators from our feed yet?
@dansup do you have links to those 3rd party clients in development?
