Well I have signed up for Loops, the federated tiktok alternative. I signed up on Monday and havenāt still a mail about how to start, after the signup. So Iām writing this to hear from others, who have signed up for loops, whathavet you experience with the signup, have you got both mails, or are you just like me still waiting and looking for news all the time on Mastodon? Maybe we could help each other, be patience together and yir discuss loops and talk about the hopes we have for the tiktok alternative.
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of āfederationā and āuniverseā.
Getting started on Fediverse;
āTbh, I should have delayed the loops.video countdown timer by 1 more week.
That would have given me enough time to resolve the delays we are currently facing.
I apologize, and am working diligently to get @loops into your hands ASAP!
Your patience is greatly appreciated while I work on this.
The hype is real, soon yāall will make history by participating in the first fediverse platform dedicated to short looping videos, and the first mobile only fediverse platform šā

Mobile-onlyā¦ I donāt think thatās as much of a flex as they think it is
And by mobile only they also mean Android only. Apparently iOS doesnāt have a client currently.
I know, but where are all the 2000 people who have signed up?
Personally, I donāt this will have much success because titok is driven by algorithms and influencersā¦itās built for lazy scrolling consumers that follow the latest trends. People that use it donāt care about the data privacy or ethics of it, they just want to know what the latest song or dance craze is ā¦ Add to that ease of use to add graphics and music tracks. Also reach is everything.
I donāt think we have to expect that it will have the same success as tiktok , but a strong alternative. Sometimes I just want to consume , and there is pixelfed and probably loops a good alternative, because its not full of influencers, ads, and so on. Just like YouTube once just was people making vids, the good old times.
I donāt have an opinion either way on this but can we not act like corporate for profit social networks havenāt thunderously dropped the ball on this kind of thing lol
I never got the email either so Iām curious too. Iāll save this post.
Oh thatās great to know, then Iām not the only one, thatās how it feels. Specially because I donāt hear people talking about that they are signed in.
Just signed up about 2 minutes ago and havent gotten my email. Iām a patient man, but even I have my limits.
Interested to give it a shot though. Hopefully it gets sorted out soon.
Itās a slow rollout. Dansup is doing his best to put a good foot forward, thereās a lot of moving parts, and itās fairly more complicated than some of his prior work. Iām super stoked for it, and canāt wait to put together a detailed review.
Yes really a slow rollout, but thatās only because of his teasing. If he just made the countdowns now, then it would feel much faster and real š
I hope they managed to grab some content creators.
Yir. Anyone here gonna create? Im not Just consumerš
Iām hoping to start. Although I still donāt really post, I comment way more on Lemmy/Mastodon than when I used Reddit, because I want the platforms to grow.
Well Iām gonna follow. Just now I canāt imagin what people would post. Hope its different to tiktok, because different people.
