wiki_me comments on Loops - short form video with ActivityPub

And I still can only get 0 like, 0 comment shaky cam video of a screen capture of ultra zoomed in tiktoks or blasting shitty electronika music at 100dB clipping all to hell with 2005 era Microsoft visualizer videos.

Just like pixelfed, there is no way to discover anyone except the same 10-12 rotation of people they put in explore.

I come back every month or two and swipe through 5-10 to see if anything has changed, but it never has. In the case of loops, the same number of creators, some of which haven't posted a video for almost 8 months are "trending"? Maybe that is where the "active users" number comes from?

I agree with you. It's a cool conecpt, but TikTok and Instagram have their algorithms. Love it or hate it, those apps are great at keeping your eyes glued to the screen. Loops/Pixelfed may be less evil, but they are considerably more boring. I can scroll through loops for a few minutes and when you come back it starts again at the beginning and you see the same videos over again. Also, the scrolling is glitchy.
