Daniel Supernault<p>Loops is a short video sharing platform, powered by ActivityPub and inspired by TikTok.</p><p>One challenge I had to solve was compression.</p><p>I implemented an important two stage transcoding system that first optimizes the video on device in the app, then sends it to the server for further optimization.</p><p>This means Loops servers don't need huge resources to get started, and can leverage the processing power of client devices!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/loops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>loops</span></a></p>

Robert A. Hill<p>Is there a federated replacement for short form video?

Nova<p>Loops has many users and got a ton of funding way back in June 2024 (9 months ago) but I don't see any development , app side or back end side for federating code to even become 'stable enough' to implement federation. They are not currently federated despite labelling themselves as such in their KICKSTARTER to get funds and in their grant with the EU. Of course there's been no current backend code released in 3 months, so there's no way to see if they're actually working on it or not. Again, loops is not actually open source. Which begs the question, how do you know if it's stable or not, let alone that it exists or that they're not misusing funds? I'm not a software developer so if I missed where they'd be working on it, let me know. Otherwise, I call it as I see it: scammy.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/loops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>loops</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pixelfed</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/activitypub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activitypub</span></a></p>

Nova<p>I made an account and began using the ACTUALLY open source (glaring at you loops) <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/TikTok" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TikTok</span></a> alternative, <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/vidzy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vidzy</span></a> I know they are in an alpha state having just started, but I feel in my heart <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@vidzy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>vidzy</span></a></span> is gonna be really awesome and I'm excited to say I was so early I watched every video on vidzy at some point. Vidzy is <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a> , plans to use <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/activitypub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activitypub</span></a> , and all the good things and has both an online interface and app. <br>There are 48 TikTok alternatives on alternative.to. When you filter for open source, there are 4. Of the four, one is abandoned, one isn't actually open source (Loops), and one is overrun by AI bots pushing crypto (Olas). <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Olas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Olas</span></a> is further into development so it works smoother but it has a good amount of spam and is still a bit buggy. I hope it gets better but it's pretty tech-bro scam-y.<br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Loops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Loops</span></a> creator dan is problematic for a variety of reason including the fact that he continues to not share current code for Loops, is very immature/rude, and he 'joked' about adding ads.</p>
