    Moderately certain this is already happening, as evidenced by loops showing up so often in my “all” tab. If I understand correctly (and for the love of all that is good, someone please correct me if I’m wrong), Loops is “hosted” via pixelfed.

      I think you are just seeing people repost loops to Lemmy as Loops isn’t federated yet

        Oh, is loops going to be run as a totally separate service?

        I’m not well educated on their project (nor on activity pub beyond a surface level understanding), but it was my understanding that is was going to be run as a sub-service of pixelfed. Don’t suppose you can point to any resources on that topic?

          It’s just in early development and hasn’t federated yet.

          It’s a separate thing from Pixelfed though. Just developed by the same guy.

            Interesting to hear.

            I’m super pumped for the project, but am largely waiting to get properly set up with it until there’s a good app and I can on-board the friends and family all in one go. Really hoping to get them all off TikTok/YT Shorts/Reels/whatever corporate and nation run projects the kids are using these days.

              Have you tried it? It’s in open beta. The app is already really good. I don’t think it’s ready for the friends and fam yet but it’s worth checking out.
