I can sometimes obsess over the tiniest details, because attention to detail matters. My most recent example: Loops DMs don't need to render the mentions in the message bubble. It just looks better without them. They do provide important context sometimes, so they are available when you need them, with a tooltip popover. No detail is too small when you put the user experience first. 🚀 Before vs After #Loops #LoopsDev #UX

No investors. No ads. Funded by you. Loops is free, open source, and built without corporate investors. No ads, no data harvesting, no algorithmic manipulation. We answer to our community — and that means we're funded by the people who use and believe in the platform. https://joinloops.org/donate #Loops #LoopsDev #SupportLoops

When I first announced Loops, I never expected 20,000 people to sign up in the first few months. At the same time, Pixelfed doubled from 200,000 users to over 400,000 users in ONE WEEK, mostly on pixelfed.social Combined with the launches of the official Pixelfed Android/iOS app and the launch of our Kickstarter, I had to focus on Pixelfed. Only to get criticized that Loops wasn't open source or federated So I shipped it, and now its federated and open source! https://joinloops.org #Loops

Flagship fediverse servers are fundamental to the growth of our network. They don't shutdown without notice, and generally are more trusted and actively moderated and updated. That being said, as a dev/admin of two flagship servers, it's our responsibility to build and support FULL account migration to other servers, and with LOLA, I'm confident we can do this right. https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-data-portability/lola #Flagship #Loops #Pixelfed #Onboarding #LOLA

I just suggested to the @Mastodon@mastodon.social team to implement Sign in with Apple/Google in their official mobile app. I think it would make a huge difference. Yes, it would centralize the fediverse more, but it would also bring a whole diverse new crowd here, to make a home on the most trusted and stable Mastodon server. Once they discover the fediverse, they could migrate to another server that better suits them. Only a matter of time, mark my words. 🚀 #Loops #Mastodon #SignInWithApple #Onboarding

Your friends don't care about instances. They care about joining in 5 seconds. On Loops for iOS it's one tap with Sign in with Apple. No server to pick, no email, no password, nothing to verify. It. Just. Works. Federation stays invisible until you go looking for it. This is how #SocialWeb platforms go mainstream. #Loops #LoopsDev

My favourite slide from my FediCon talk about Loops was the very last one I added at 3am the night before my talk. "Someone hears about a thing, they go to sign up, and the first screen asks them to choose a server. And they don't know what a server is. They don't know what any of these words mean, and they've now been asked to make an infrastructure decision before they've seen a single video. Most of them just leave" #Loops #FediCon

You don't need 40,000 people. You just need redis. #Loops

According to @dansup@mastodon.social: #Loops has a dead man’s switch. If an admin does not log in for a week, open registrations close. This might seem like a small thing but it’s huge for trust and safety. #Fedicon

RE: https://mastodon.social/@joinloops/117032008328546651 With just a few .env variables, Loops Admins have the ability to enable database backups to a separate S3 disk that gets updated every 6 hours, and purges backups older than 7 days with the most recent per day, and up to 4 backups on the current day. The backups are stored with private visibility, so even knowing the URL of them won't grant access, and you can encrypt the archive with an optional password for additional security. Administration should be easy, and backups automated 🔥 #Loops

Loops Admins: Did you know you can easily configure database backups that get stored to a separate S3 compatible disk as private zips with optional archive passwords that also get purged so you only keep the most X recent backups, with the limit being up to you?

All you need to do is configure the S3 credentials, and set LOOPS_BACKUPS_ENABLED=true in .env.

S3 env vars: https://github.com/joinloops/loops-server/blob/main/config/filesystems.php#L70-L85

Backup config: https://github.com/joinloops/loops-server/blob/main/config/backup.php

We ❤️ Admins, and easy administration!

Just shipped 3 releases tonight, the day before we head to #FediCon and I give a keynote about Loops!

Releases:

Also, yes, Loops emails the admin account when a new release is available.

We like to keep admins in the loop, you could say 😎

Replying to on vox.ominous.net
@occult@vox.ominous.net Ugh, this is so annoying. The Fediverse doesn't need a TikTok. The universe doesn't need a TikTok. TikTok is garbage. I was so hoping that #Loops would be a real personal video sharing platform like [Beme] was (for a short time), and not just another brainrot spigot.
