Infinite scroll is a blessing and a curse, combined with algorithms, they can become quite addictive.

That is the whole point of developing a project right, for people to actually use it, and the most possible?

I know, there are detriments to encouraging excessive use, but we shouldn't ignore the fact that algorithms and infinite scroll are here to stay.

The question with @loops is, how we can encourage the most healthy use?

I made a #video where I talk about my experiences with different free and open source social media. #foss #socialmedia

Some of them are part of the #fediverse and use #activitypub

Here are the ones that I talk about:
#mastodon
#pixelfed
#lemmy

Hi @dansup know you are heads down on the groups and , but what just happened on MAU on ?

Is that a bug, a real spike, or did you just add some new sources for new data?

ok maybe the rest of the fediverse isn't ready for my bad karaoke loops videos so I deleted it, but don't worry loops fam, we don't judge on loops!

I don't care what you think, my voice is beautiful!!!

William Basinski - Lamentations (2020) @vinylrecords

One that was played a lot when everyone was locked down in their homes - it has a vibe for sure.

Loops will launch with a chronological only feed, then a Followers feed and finally the For You feed.

Before we can serve personalized feeds, we need to build and label the video and topic graphs. We will be A/B testing the For You page during the next few weeks. You will be able to tell because there will a new For You header menu!

✨ Improved Loops Share menu

Now with a new "Not Interested" button to help train the For You feed along with Bookmark and Report features!

Loop video urls will be super short!

ex: loops.video/v/5jM_jMRGuYbLc

Notice no username? That's because we plan to support username changes ✨

I've seen people mention that the Loops push notifications are dark patterns, and that is not my intention at all

I'm not encrypting the notifications and they can be collected by various parties (NSA, Apple, Google) so I didn't want to include any more metadata than I needed to

Hope you understand!

"Someone you know (@pixelfed) joined Loops!"

Just imagine how easy it will be to grow your Loops network graph with innovative features like these!

We're just getting started 😎

Loops is a new platform for sharing short videos, and it's open source + federated using #ActivityPub

We're really excited to share this sneak peek that showcases the new onboarding flow and discovery features (Connect Mastodon) and look forward to the upcoming beta release!

Are you ready for #Loops ?

✨ Iconic Onboarding

With Loops, you will be able to take advantage of your Mastodon (or Pixelfed) account to find friends based on accounts you're already following!

Discovery is crucial, and we're making it even easier ⚡️

@dansup I've never been into or similar, but tried with and I am having a great time.

I might just try as well, once it's ready.

Screens are looking great!

I would absolutely love to get my hands on the new @loops Android or iOS app by @dansup to start using it and testing it.

As many of you know, I do beta testing all day everyday since I work for a large Android app and most all of the software I use is beta of some form.

It would make for a great experience to dive in early and see what it's all about and report feedback as much as possible to help make it the best app out there today!

Loops is open source, with the exception of the algorithm training data and user data

Each instance will be able to train and maintain their own 'For You' algorithm

Backend: https://github.com/px-loops/loopd

App: https://github.com/px-loops/loops-rn
