      A federated short video sharing platform. Basically YouTube Shorts or TikTok.

    i’m really interested to see where this goes. i feel like a lot of the dorks (i say affectionately as a dork) who use the fediverse and people who do this kinda shortform video are two circles that don’t touch, so this could very well die on the vine- no pun intended- or it could give the fedi the jolt it needs to enter the mainstream

      I use TikTok (around a hour a day) and use the Fediverse too(Mbin and Misskey fork), so I guess I am a target audience, so they do touch, pfft

      Also there’s Pixelfed userbase, I think they would like short form video platform, cause Instagram has it

    Storage costs is the biggest hurdle for decentralized video platforms. I wonder how instances will handle that.

      Even Bluesky is limiting video uploads heavily. And it’s centralized. (As far as I understand.)

    shorts are not my cup of tea. Pretty sure shorts have a negative impact on peoples attention span. I’d still be happy to see people watch their shorts on the Fediverse rather than at tiktok/yt. Of course, but still…

    I tried to register on it but when they said they would give further instructions on mail, I did not receive it. Now when I try to create again it shows email and username is taken :\

      Be patient. It seems like they are manually sending out activation emails. You should receive it this week.

    Just a tip for the developer/sysadmins of loops.video, as a developer myself: Seems like loops.video has no DKIM or SPF configured (if that’s the domain being used to sent activation links/codes), so the tendency is for most email providers to block the mail or move it straight to Spam folder. The situation worsens when many users try to sign-up for an account, so loops.video sends a lot of sequential emails (which is something that could be seen as “spam behavior” by email providers). The developer should ensure that mail delivery is properly configured, particularly the trust headers (DKIM and SPF, as mentioned before) needed for sending emails.
