It’s not finished. It’s not perfect. But it’s real. 🥹
Loops is now open, built in public, and growing every day — laying the groundwork for a future where you can build your own TikTok.
A future where governments can’t censor you. Where corporations can’t control the conversation. Where the social web belongs to the people again.
This is how it starts. ✊

@dansup well done! Congratulations.
So needed. I hope it gets very successful. -

@dansup is it intended to play on a web browser or in an app (TikTok is both). Also, like TikTok, can folks anonymously browse?

@dansup I feel abandoned having an early account on loops.video. No web interface, no federation.

It seems the joinloops.org front page doesn't like Firefox Mobile much. Slow to load, refuses to scroll, the buttons remain below the fold.

@dansup Dan, thanks for confirming no telemetry but can I also get you to confirm:
Are there any hooks/code for pushing ads/hashtags/etc? Either opt-in or opt-out?

@dansup I'm trying to figure out your "Login or Register" UX flow. On an Android phone from a Chrome browser, there's a "Login" but not a "Register" flow that I can see.
Would love to try it out before I try learning TikTok ! -

mobileatom@flipboard.com You've touched on a very interesting point. By the way, I've never figured out whether your Flipboard account will ever be able to see my reply, and to be honest, I'd be very curious to know what a Flipboard user sees when they receive a reply from the free Fediverse...
Returning to your observation, I see the Fediverse as an integrated ecosystem, but integration doesn't always have to be symmetrical.
To put it simply, Bookwyrm users and Peertube users aren't interested in viewing content from other social networks!
In the Fediverse, there are programs that focus on one of the three areas in the image above, and programs that occupy two or more reference areas.For example, I find the fact that Mobilizon users can't see Friendica events much more problematic than the shortcoming you noted on Pixelfed...
Pixelfed certainly "looks" like a social network, but it's primarily a place where users share their "personal art galleries."
While I'm not a fan of dansup@mastodon.social, I recognize that he's making great strides to increase the interoperability of his creation, and Pixelfed has grown better than any other software in the Fediverse on three key levels:
improving interoperability creating a beautiful and ergonomic app brand identityI'm sure he'll find a way to make text content visible in the future, but honestly, right now, it doesn't seem like a priority for Pixelfed's development and success.
That said, your observations are a very interesting starting point for the development of software and interfaces in the Fediverse.

Agreed that Mastodon 2022 / Bluesky 2025 is far from a precise correspondence! But while fedi's ecosystem is very diverse in some ways (and I agree that's a fundamental asset), it's much less diverse in others. Similarly the ATmosphere ecosystem is very diverse in some ways.but much less diverse in others. So my guess is that most fedi projects have an analogue in the ATmosphere -- not as far along because it's newer, and we'll see how many continue and how many wind up as dead ends.
Of course there are plenty of exceptions. Off the top of my head, I can't think of ATmosphere analogies of Bonfire, Frequency, or the friendica/Hubzilla/(streams)/Forte family. Then again there are also ATmosphere projects where I can't think of any fedi analogy: Blacksky, Gerrm, XBlock labeler, Anisota, Semble (a sense-making app). And some of the ways the ecosystems aren't diverse mirror each other; for example both are very Europe/US/Canada-centric.

Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on? #activityPub #Pixelfed

I've just updated my #Snac instance, to version 2.85 👍 🎉
You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
A simple, minimalistic and well documented #ActivityPub instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.
Do you see this post? It comes from a Snac server.
The Fediverse is larger than you assume 😉

@AdamStuartSmith thanks!
happy for every feedback and/or improvement requests.

@pfefferle Thanks, looks good, I'll work through it and let you know how it goes! 🙏

Bot accounts on #Mastodon should be able to be flagged as "do not cache".
Having to hit F5 to reload the page every 30 minutes like as if it was still the early 2000s or something to play @fediplayssnake

„Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?“
Interesting article but I disagree with the premise:
The #ActivityPub protocol does not demand to display all messages.
Actually, it doesn’t make any sense even.When I use #Pixelfed, I do that to see pictures only. That’s the whole point.
If I want to see more, I have to use a more generic platform, like #Mastodon.https://ploum.net/2025-12-04-pixelfed-against-fediverse.html
