So far, there is only some user settings accessible in the web interface. I don’t have an iPhone, hence I cannot say for their app. The android app will come later, apparently.
I really wonder if this is just a different frontend for pixelfed that is video-centric, or if it will be something else.
Since it is supposed to be the TikTok of the fediverse, I really wonder if it will, like pixelfed also just feature a chronological timeline? Because what makes TikTok so popular is not the short videos, but the recommendation algorithm that doesn’t even require people to follow any accounts.
If it’s just another chronological media feed then they could have just modified pixelfed to only allow video upload and would jabe archived the same thing. So far I am really wondering if loops is a new thing, or if it will be just another reskin of mastodon/pixelfed/…

I don’t give a shit about TikTok or short form video but legitimately how is this expected to succeed with these limitations? Clearly people like this stuff but can a fediverse service really afford to be iPhone only? This truly seems doomed to fail.
It’s a temporary situation. This is early adopter alpha stage shit.
I’m more concerned about scalability. Hosting video gets expensive pretty quickly once people start signing up and using it.
They sound kind of shady, TOS for them is a bit rough.
Is it possible for me to get an account? How would I go about doing that?

Gee just what the Fediverse needed…
It already has Twitter-like and Instagram-like platforms. How much worse can it get?
still waiting for an onlyfans alternative … 🫣
Hmm… Touché.
I got the email too but can’t install from TestFlight.
I did not get the TestFlight email yet.
