Loops Studio is being expanded to support several new exciting features π₯
WarpBubble π«§
ActivityPub s2s entangled real time transport.
FEP coming soon π
Nuxt + tailwind and a lil elbow grease = a beautiful Loops Help Center powered by markdown/mdx β¨
You may notice the Support Tickets button and personalization, while this is a central service, we use a clever method to link back to the source server and generate the avatar, as if the user never left their instance.
Shipping soon!

You can now update thumbnails on existing videos, special thanks to @ueb_team161 for recommending this feature!
You can upload jpeg/png/webp images under 10MB and use the built in cropper without having to resize them first.
Now available in Loops Studio β¨
Loops now ships with an automated @iftas
DNI List importer that is run daily, to import and automatically block problematic servers!
PR: github.com/joinloops/loops-serβ¦
More info: about.iftas.org/library/iftas-β¦
Special thanks to IFTAS for providing this wonderful resource, and yes, you can disable it, in config/denylist.php, but it is enabled by default β¨
The federated short video sharing platform. Contribute to joinloops/loops-server development by creating an account on GitHub.GitHub
We are preparing the Live Streaming feature, with plans for creator monetization so you can get paid via interactive gifts from viewers and followers.
More details soon!
Loops has developed it's own optimized server to server communication to support near real-time federation of latency sensitive activities, like Live stream chat messages.
I'm working on the draft FEP, and will share more details soon!
I noticed that TikTok supports Polls in Comments by the video creator, and when you comment, it shows the option you voted for.
That is very interesting, but I'm not sure how it would be received if Mastodon users voted on a poll and commented, only for their choice to be public on Loops.
What are your thoughts?
#Loops #LoopsDev #Polls #LoopsPolls
I look forward to adding more Content preference settings, because you deserve more control and transparency across the feeds!
Speaking of transparency, you will soon see a new option in the Share sheet when your on the For You Feed, it will show you why the content was recommended.
Along with the ability to see and moderate all tokens we use to serve personalized recommendations in the FYF, in Settings.
Reposts are coming to Loops, I'm just finishing up the last few bits.
Your reposts will be shown on your profile, under a new reposts tab.
Reposts from accounts you follow will be included in your Following feed, and sometimes in the For You feed.
They will also be federated to your followers, like Boosts on Mastodon.
You will be able to hide reposts from your feeds optionally, but they will be enabled by default.
We shipped a few improvements to our web uploader, fixing the missing audio bug and improving transcoding support for larger files on Safari browsers.
We are working to increase max upload size to 100MB, increase caption length to 2000 chars from 200 chars, and are considering increasing max video length from 3 minutes to 5 minutes and allowing you to increase quality to 1080p for 3-10 videos per month.
Stay Looping β¨
Direct Messages and Group Chats are first class features in Loops.
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. π
Before vs After
Special thanks to @liaizon for reporting the Loops to Mastodon DM threading issue.
It's now fixed π

Loops Admin Dashboard will show you an Update Available banner if you don't update right away!
It's powered by our Beacon service (beacon.joinloops.org)
The Loops Observatory handles version update signals and open starter kit discovery for the fediverse.beacon.joinloops.org
Compatibility and performance are key to a successful and thriving fediverse platform.
Just look how fast our Direct Message system is, in this video we sent a Direct Message to a Mastodon account via ActivityPub and got a notification from the other side in seconds.
We redesigned profile headers to better use the available space and show more of the video grid.
You may also notice the new Message button, we now have Direct Messages!
To prevent spam, you will only see messages from mutuals, the rest will be in the Requests tab.
We think you will love the new Loops app. Take a look at all the new features β¬οΈ

A more powerful For You feed is coming, with the ability to help train it by tapping "Love this" or "Not interested" in the redesigned share modal, that also supports sending via DM or Group Chats.
Is that a repost button? π₯
Stay tuned!
Loops App Devs FYI: We have an endpoint for user preferences, if `hide_for_you_feed` is true, you should hide the FYF from them as they desire.
Auditable.
AdminAuditLog + UserAuditLog timelines with rich previews for every local + remote account.
Know exactly what you need to, easily, when you need it.
This is just one example of how powerful Loops administration is.
Built for Admins. Loved by the community π
I decided to remove the server domain from Loops Push Notification titles.
I think it's cleaner and less confusing.
Btw, Loops notifications support deep-linking, so when you tap on them, it will take you to the appropriate screen.
If you get a new follower notification, it will take you to their profile, but if you're going viral, we may bundle multiple notifications into one and instead take you to the New Follower Notifications screen.
The Loops Admin Dashboard supports keyboard navigation + a powerful command palette.
It also allows you to manage nearly every aspect with ease, dark mode optional β¨
