Somewhere else, this is a patent fight. Here it's a GitHub issue. https://github.com/pixelfed/starter-kits/issues/1 Almost 2 years ago I started planning federated Starter Kits. @Mastodon@mastodon.social took the idea, turned it into a FEP, and built it with my feedback rather than around it. It shipped in @loops@loops.video this year. Mastodon shipped Featured Collections months later. Compatible. Collaborative. Consent-driven 🚀 https://blog.joinloops.org/introducing-starter-kits/ https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/06/mastodon-4.6/ #StarterKits #FeaturedCollections #ActivityPub #Collaboration

I'm super proud of our rollout of Starter Kits in Loops, and can't wait to bring this to Pixelfed later this year! Landing page: https://joinloops.org/starter-kits Blog post: https://blog.joinloops.org/introducing-starter-kits/ Explore real kits: https://loops.video/starter-kits/browse Best of all, I've been working closely with the @Mastodon@mastodon.social team on interoperability so you can use Kits or Collections across Loops and Mastodon ✨ Now this is proof of how powerful the social web can be when you put consent and safety first ❤️ #Loops #StarterKits

Consent Driven Curated Collections, aka Starter Kits. Now available on Loops, and compatible with Mastodon Collections rolling out next week. https://joinloops.org/starter-kits Spread the word. Boosts appreciated. This is proof we can build ethical, interoperable discovery based on opt-in support at the protocol level. 🚀 #StarterKits #StarterPacks #Loops #Mastodon #ActivityPub #ConsentDriven

Loops Starter Kits only support local account at the moment, as I was waiting for Mastodon to finalize their spec so we can maintain full compatibility. Working with @dave@upp2.com from the Mastodon team has been amazing, and I'll be adding remote account support this weekend. Isn't it amazing how projects like Loops and Mastodon can work together to the benefit of everyone. I think it is ❤️ #Loops #StarterKits #Mastodon #StarterPacks

The next Loops web/app release will contain:

  • Comment media (image/gifv)
  • Curated Onboarding
  • Direct Messages
  • Push Notifications
  • Starter Kits

You will be able to share videos to your most recent DM conversations easily, with multi-participant support (aka groupchats)

One more thing, Kickstarter backers and early loops.video users will be invited to the Sup early alpha after this release!

Every detail matters. Like building a StarterKit hover card for the web notifications tab. Or a new admin moderation queue to handle kit header or icon image updates, while keeping the original media intact and storing updated media as a private S3 url that can only be viewed by that user or admins, and rotates to public if approved, to prevent abuse. Every media update requires approval, unless you are an admin. ✨ #StarterKits #Loops
