    Seems like a neat idea. Do you know if it’s possible to embed loops videos in a Lemmy post? I just browsed the community a bit, and I think I would enjoy it more if I didn’t have to click twice on every post.

      I could be wrong on this, but that looked like it was more about discussing Loops, the project. Seemed like would be annoying to spam it with lots of videos from loops

        Well it’s a new community, so there is no clear path for now, but I get what you’re saying, i should have made a better description !

          Based on some of the comments so far, some people really don’t like the videos, so it’s probably good to have separate communities for discussion of Loops vs posting loops. People can block this community and still subscribe to [email protected]

    Does it take a while to get the email after signing up? I tried to create an account. I find the tiktok experience interesting enough to try but was always put off by how intrusive their algorithm seemed.

      It took me a few hours to get the email. I saw somewhere that they’re sending out ~1 email/sec.

      For better or worse, there’s currently 0 algorithm. You can have any algorithm you want, as long as it’s “Newest”. I sort Lemmy like that anyways so it’s great for me. No idea if they’ve got other algorithms planned.

      I haven’t had any negative interactions with him. I know over on this post about the doxxing of Nick Fuentes, he edited the post to add “Report all you want. This is not getting taken down. Fuck nazis.”, but I see that as an advantage of the Fediverse vs Reddit. Instance admins can decide what their instance allows, instead of everyone needing to follow what’s socially acceptable to advertisers.
