There is a lot of misinformation spreading about Loops, and I want to clarify some things
Loops doesn't ingest any federated activities besides:
- Loop Video Likes
- Loop Video Shares
- Account Follows
- Comments to Loops videos
- Comments to Loops comments
- Reports about Loops content
Videos uploaded to other platforms like Mastodon, Pixelfed and PeerTube will not be included in our For You algorithm, only Loops videos will be
Also we don't claim any ownership, we revised our ToS 
So I'm building the Sound Library feature in Loops (and will add it to Pixelfed eventually)
It's so cool, and we're working on support for other fediverse platforms so we can leverage their library of audio content and gain their authors more exposure by this cross platform integration.
It's like the pinnacle of ActivityPub, a video app using Audio activities from another platform.
You love to see it 
You can enable audio on the Loops app even in silent mode by toggling this setting!
Loops has many users and got a ton of funding way back in June 2024 (9 months ago) but I don't see any development , app side or back end side for federating code to even become 'stable enough' to implement federation. They are not currently federated despite labelling themselves as such in their KICKSTARTER to get funds and in their grant with the EU. Of course there's been no current backend code released in 3 months, so there's no way to see if they're actually working on it or not. Again, loops is not actually open source. Which begs the question, how do you know if it's stable or not, let alone that it exists or that they're not misusing funds? I'm not a software developer so if I missed where they'd be working on it, let me know. Otherwise, I call it as I see it: scammy.
Posted on my #pixelfed account @FrawgBerry@pixelfed.art@pixelfed.art for the first time! I’m also looking into uploading a #speedpaint on my #loops account here https://loops.video/@FrawgBerry@pixelfed.art . Let me know if any of you would be interested in seeing my #progress. :) some cool #projects are on the way so stay tuned!
Has anyone had any luck federating with accounts on loops.video? I can only see @dansup in search results. Might not be flipped on yet?

We're not only building Pixelfed, but also Loops, a TikTok alternative!
We need your support now more than ever, please spread the word about our Kickstarter!
The future is federated, and belongs to the people.
Boost if you agree 
Dansup (Pixelfed, Loops, and FediDB dev) 's treatment of Hazel, a dev that he excitedly announced was joining the Loops team only to later retract that and publicly berate her, catalogued here - https://dansup-open-letter.github.io/appendix/#behaviour - is gross.
Dansup's treatment of Tobi, one of the GoToSocial devs, and the GTS project in general, recently has also been gross - https://mastodon.art/@welshpixie/113956125906236265
29 Days to go!
Can you help up reach our $200k stretch goal?
