So far, so good. The software works. You’re able to watch videos, comment, follow people etc. There are minor glitches here and there, but there are also lots of updates all the time.
It reminds me of something I’ve read about Mastodon. That place was designed to be less addictive than Twitter, so feeling a little bored after a while is a feature, not a bug. Loops gives me that same vibe, although it’s probably caused by the the small number of videos and people making them.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Have been very impressed w loops so far!

It needs more uploads created by the people behind the accounts rather than low effort reuploads of other’s content.
That will come but for now it’s more helpful for the beta testing to have a large diversity of scenarios to work with.
I’m just worried it’ll become normalised to be reuploads instead of original stuff.
Ah I see. Fwiw, !loops@midwest.social has this in the sidebar:
So that’s at least something to help differentiate them.
Especially considering it’s a one man team who also made pixelfed and some other lesser known fediverse projects.
