It actually reports about 27K monthly active users and is one of the more popular platforms on the fediverse.

Good to know it’s still moving forward. I thought the project died because I’ve never really heard anything since the initial promotion of it a couple of months back.

'Open source' misses the point of libre software.

I want to like Loops but I kinda do not like the lack of a recommendation system (I do understand why they don't tho). And also it needs more users to actually have content. I keep checking it every once in a while, but 90% of what I scroll through are nothing but nature shots with the other 10℅ being extreme political hot takes or just (bad) memes ripped straight from tiktok.

Everything has to start somewhere.

Is it finally ACTUALLY AP enabled now? Been waiting on that.

[-] Valon_Blue@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 weeks ago

Answered my own question, supposedly it is.

Question: can they get sued for putting TikTok-like in the description, or does that only apply when you're making money?

[-] unknownuserunknownlocation@kbin.earth 1 points 3 weeks ago

IANAL, but I don't think there's a reasonable ground for a lawsuit (although there's nothing prevent an attempt). It's not claiming to be TikTok, that would be a clear trademark infringement. It's just saying it's similar to their service, and if you want to compare it (which is allowed), you have to refer to it somehow. Similar to when people say LibreOffice is an MS office alternative - Microsoft wouldn't have the grounds to sue there, either.
