Rollover says I just want to scroll videos. I would suggest loops but im have not used it and am not sure if it ever got to the point where it is federated.

    I really want to try Loops but I’ve never been able to successfully create an account.

    Enter the username, email, password, validate your humanity, and then get a message to check my email for new instructions. The email never comes so I’m stuck. Can’t log in, can’t use the “forgot my password” function.

      I have a Loops account; both of the videos there are pretty meh.

      Seriously though, there is a giant lack of content there, I’ve gotten the feed to loop (heh) after about 30 minutes. Great, because it stops the doom scrolling, but doom scrolling is the entire purpose of the app…

        The feed with the posts since the app was created or since a shorter time interval?

        Yeah I kind of expect that. I had messed around with Lemmy before, but I fully moved here when the RedditAPI drama happened and ended 3rd party apps. Lemmy has improved over time, but it’s still nowhere near the amount of content Reddit used to provide.

        Same thing with Pixelfed vs Instagram/TikTok.

        The only solution is to keep using it. Maybe try my own hand at making content on occasion.
