Loops is now in public beta, you can join up. They’ve got good stuff there, post things you like here.
Join us at !loops@midwest.social
Seems like a neat idea. Do you know if it’s possible to embed loops videos in a Lemmy post? I just browsed the community a bit, and I think I would enjoy it more if I didn’t have to click twice on every post.
That’s a good question, I’ll try embedding them. I know Loops is planning on Fediverse integration and I imagine at some point everything will gel nicely, but there’s no ETA on that integration that I’m aware of.
Please just use !loops@midwest.social and not
[!loops@midwest.social]()I was told on another post that doing it this way works better for mbin users 🤷
Is there one format to rule them all?
No.
If you wanted to get the majority, you’d use the way I mentioned.
Or you can just have two links, one for lemmy (the way I’ve done it) and one the way you’ve done it for mbin/kbin users.
We should have joined force I’m the moderator at !loops@lemmy.world but it’s cool to see loops get some more attention tho! :)
I could be wrong on this, but that looked like it was more about discussing Loops, the project. Seemed like would be annoying to spam it with lots of videos from loops
Well it’s a new community, so there is no clear path for now, but I get what you’re saying, i should have made a better description !
Based on some of the comments so far, some people really don’t like the videos, so it’s probably good to have separate communities for discussion of Loops vs posting loops. People can block this community and still subscribe to !loops@lemmy.world
Seems like a good idea then, i’ll update the bio and link to your community :)
Does it take a while to get the email after signing up? I tried to create an account. I find the tiktok experience interesting enough to try but was always put off by how intrusive their algorithm seemed.
It took me a few hours to get the email. I saw somewhere that they’re sending out ~1 email/sec.
For better or worse, there’s currently 0 algorithm. You can have any algorithm you want, as long as it’s “Newest”. I sort Lemmy like that anyways so it’s great for me. No idea if they’ve got other algorithms planned.
Neat!!
Eh… Midwest. social is run by a power tripping disrespectful person.
I’m not familiar with midwest.social, what did the person running it do?
I haven’t had any negative interactions with him. I know over on this post about the doxxing of Nick Fuentes, he edited the post to add “Report all you want. This is not getting taken down. Fuck nazis.”, but I see that as an advantage of the Fediverse vs Reddit. Instance admins can decide what their instance allows, instead of everyone needing to follow what’s socially acceptable to advertisers.
What did they do?
