For short videos, loops. Longer videos peertube.

You could also do both! :D

Both is the answer. Most people will flip past a 10 minute short-form video. Just like the TikTok/Youtube sitution, edit some things to be vertical and short, and post those to Loops. Include a link in your profile to your Peertube, and let the short videos direct people who like your stuff to your longer horizontal videos.

Hmm, good question, I do have an account on both platforms. I feel like Loops is more tiktok Like. Peertube is made to be an alternative to YT.

It depends on the target group you want to reach. Loops used more standup shot videos while peertube mostly 16/9 vids.

In terms of users I believe peertube is somewhat larger but that might be my perception so take that with a grain of salt.

I believe loops only allows up to 3 minutes

Loops if you want to post exclusively vertical videos. PeerTube if you want to post horizontal ones too

How about you have a look at some public instances, scroll through some content, watch a few videos and see which one you like better from a user perspective? I mean technically, they both work. Setup of an instance is just done once, and I guess uploading videos has about the same complexity... So it's down to what interface you like, and where you'd find your audience.

@fediverse Update: so far I tried Loops, haven't got it working yet. Next week I'll try hosting Loops one more time then will try Peertube.

Update: I've tried loops, but I keep running into upload issues that I can't post even a 5 second train video. Will try Peertube next month. @fediverse

PeerTube is YouTube. It's a general-purpose video streaming application.

Loops is TikTok. It's for short vertical videos and for people with the attention span of a squirrel who don't know that you can rotate phones sideways, and who are constantly looking for the next dopamine kick. Also, in terms of software maturity in general and Fediverse software maturity in particular, Loops is nowhere near PeerTube.
