Pretty much everything I’ve seen so far has been uncredited reposts from YouTube/Vine/TikTok. Is there anyone consistently uploading original content yet?
The web interface doesn’t let you click on anything so I can’t see profiles but I don’t want to download it and set up an account if it’s all cropped versions of stuff I’ve seen before
Yeah, there’s definitely OC on there. There’s a lot of reposts because of how new Loops is, for sure. I’ve seen #loops and #DogsOfLoops in video descriptions, both of which I assume mean it’s not simply reposting content from other platforms, though they might also be posting to multiple platforms.
Here’s some loops that seem Loops-specific (just picking out of the most recent I’ve posted to Lemmy):

Some creators that are consistently uploading original content are:
EDIT: Oh also, @[email protected] created [email protected] for discussion of Loops. I don’t mind posting questions here, but I figure some people might block this community if they feel it’s spammy, so you might not get some people seeing your question.
Thank you! I would love to see Loops succeed but I’ve been worried it’s just another “bucket” for people to dump reposts into. Maybe I’ll give it a spin now
I’ve been posting loops indiscriminately for sure, but part of that is hoping that it will draw Lemmings in that start posting OC, and someday I can add a requirement for not posting reposted tiktoks to this community.
I get it, gotta have something for strangers to want to join.
Don’t take my comment as admonishment or anything but if you’re interested in a suggestion, maybe tag the posts from original creators to highlight them? [OC] obviously won’t work…and [Original Loop] might be too verbose…so I guess my suggestion ends there lol
That’s a good idea, actually. Maybe shorten it to [OL] and explain in the sidebar or something
EDIT: Added a new rule that reposted content has to be prefixed with
[R]. That way, OC for Loops is privileged by not having to have the prefix.
