Requires registration. Also, are there no other instances of it? Also also, what protocol does it use?

[-] malfisya@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It uses activitypub, the same as Pixelfed. It is the same creator afterall. AFAIK, it is not yet federated. It ask for registration because it is pretty much in open beta right now. No other fediverse alternatives for Tiktok except that.

Edit: more about them on the FAQ.

Loops is still in beta, so there's no other instances yet, but it's gonna use ActivityPub like everyone else does so it can federate with Pixelfed (and probs mastodon). Also, like 90% of Fediverse instances require registration, usually to prevent spam and other crazy shit (CSAM, literal gore, etc.) from being posted. Just gonna have to wait a bit.

but a registration shouldn't be needed if you just want to browse and scroll.

[-] Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Didn't realize you just wanted to scroll. Yeah, almost no instance requires registration to scroll. Once again, I think Loops is just requiring registrations now because the project is unfinished, and probably can't handle a large amount of users. They also need easy feedback from users.

the project is unfinished

Understatement of the year. Dan has posted "loops next week" for more than an year already...

[-] Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, definitely could be making faster improvements, and it's disheartening considering Pixelfed hasn't had major improvements either. But I'm not a coder, so other than the fact that I donated to the spring Kickstarter, I can't complain much.

It's Dan's whole M.O: he gets excited about some new project, goes on a rushed coding rampage, releases some alpha-quality code, then loses interest and starts the chase for the next shiny toy.

I don't get why loops requires registration. It feels like an instagram pattern and I really dislike it.

[-] helios@social.ggbox.fr 1 points 2 weeks ago

Loops, like everyone rightly said, but while this initially peaked my interest, at this point I'm a little skeptical about this project. Dev seems very keen to overhype and tease new features, but usually fails to deliver, like the webUI that was supposed to be days away last year but still doesn't exist. For a fedi platform, not being able to access it via a browser on a desktop is the most bizarre thing to me. I'd hate for fediverse tech to follow this mobile-only trend.

Yes, this is Loops: "Loops is a short video sharing platform.".

However, if I am correctly informed, the planned federation with the Fediverse has still not been realised.

Why " with no required registration"? Where can you simply share videos without any account?
