I don’t know if you have heard, but Loops.video is a Reels/Tiktok like app from the creator of Pixelfed. I recall it being announced, and checked just now on a whim. All of a sudden, it appears pretty close to ready to launch!

Remindme! 4 days
Postponed 11 days unfortunately due to Meta shenanigans
Just ping @remindme@mstdn.social

Looks like you needed to actually @ the bot, but here’s your late reminder. Unfortunately Loops got postponed about a week due to Meta being a-holes and naming a different thing Loops, but they should hopefully be up next Sunday.
thanks

@wanderingmagus Here is your reminder!
Thanks!
@wanderingmagus Ok, I will remind you on Wednesday Oct 9, 2024 at 3:01 PM PDT.
Me also
Unfortunately they postponed it 11 days because Meta, of course, also announced an unrelated program named “Loops”, and now the FOSS project manager doesn’t want to release something that would seem like an afterthought in comparison. 11 days is apparently enough time to do last-minute ultra-polishing to get it ready to tell Threads to go f itself. We’ll see what happens.
It’s a shame, I hope it will succeed. Do you think Meta’s move is related and intentional?
Very possible. It’s not like Loops was a secret, and it would be a direct competitor to Instagram Reels. Plus, E/E/E and all that.
I don’t follow too much, so I don’t know what E/E/E/ is, but it would be interesting if Meta is afraid of the fediverse.
