Your friends don't care about instances. They care about joining in 5 seconds.
On Loops for iOS it's one tap with Sign in with Apple. No server to pick, no email, no password, nothing to verify.
It. Just. Works.
Federation stays invisible until you go looking for it.
This is how #SocialWeb platforms go mainstream.

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, 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 ✨

Loops + FOSSY + FediCon = ❤️
We're giving a keynote at FOSSY/FediCon this year about Loops and all the amazing progress we've made in just one year.
One year ago Loops was not open source, federated or usable on the web.
Now the entire platform is open, running smoothly, and we keep shipping amazing features like Starter Kits, Playlists, Duets and Direct Messages + Group Chats.

Loops in 2019 vs 2026.
What started as a simple Pixelfed feature has grown into it's own independent platform that better suites our growing community.
We couldn't be prouder of our progress, and our amazing community keeps us motivated.

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.

Loops.video one year ago vs now:
A year ago we were closed source, with a very primitive mobile app that only worked properly on iOS.
Now: We're fully open source, federated, with a redesigned mobile app and pioneering features like Starter Kits, the algorithmic For You feed and built-in relay (https://relay.loopsplatform.com)
A lot can change in one year 😎

Loops Admins: Did you know you can easily configure database backups that get stored to a separate S3 compatible disk as private zips with optional archive passwords that also get purged so you only keep the most X recent backups, with the limit being up to you?
All you need to do is configure the S3 credentials, and set LOOPS_BACKUPS_ENABLED=true in .env.
S3 env vars: https://github.com/joinloops/loops-server/blob/main/config/filesystems.php#L70-L85
Backup config: https://github.com/joinloops/loops-server/blob/main/config/backup.php
We ❤️ Admins, and easy administration!
