      It needs more uploads created by the people behind the accounts rather than low effort reuploads of other’s content.

        That will come but for now it’s more helpful for the beta testing to have a large diversity of scenarios to work with.

          I’m just worried it’ll become normalised to be reuploads instead of original stuff.

            Ah I see. Fwiw, [email protected] has this in the sidebar:

            If the loop you’re posting isn’t original content uploaded by the creator, prefix the title with [R] for “reposted”. For example, [R] Cute dog.

            So that’s at least something to help differentiate them.

      So far, so good. The software works. You’re able to watch videos, comment, follow people etc. There are minor glitches here and there, but there are also lots of updates all the time.

      It reminds me of something I’ve read about Mastodon. That place was designed to be less addictive than Twitter, so feeling a little bored after a while is a feature, not a bug. Loops gives me that same vibe, although it’s probably caused by the the small number of videos and people making them.

      Especially considering it’s a one man team who also made pixelfed and some other lesser known fediverse projects.
