  • Kagi's pretty good and has a Fediverse search feature, but it's paid. I don't mind paying, but there's also no way to do private searches that way, so I'm not going to use it as my main search engine. It's been good at hunting down memes on Lemmy that I want to find again though.

  • Cool, that's good to hear. The good news is that if it comes down to parsing the HTML, that's pretty straightforward. I've been poking at it, and it's nice and semantic (gets turned into a regular <video> element by JS:

    And hopefully it'll get open source soon or have some way of filing bugs/feature requests. I saw that the dev created https://joinloops.org/ and is planning on putting a roadmap there soon.

  • Neat! Since it's come up a lot in !loops@midwest.social, are there any plans on having loops embed as well? Do you know if that's something the Lemmy devs would support once for everyone, or would every client have to add support for it?

  • Loops Unwrapped 2024

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's totally not ready for that amount of influx. To be fair, it's not even out of beta. I don't think even the dev would claim it's ready for that scale yet. Hopefully it'll be ready the next time an event like that happens

  • Loops Unwrapped 2024

    Jump

  • The new build 11 released yesterday lets you see only loops from people you follow. There's also a "For You" option that I assume will eventually do what you're looking for. Right now it shows loops sorted by newest, like before

    Jump

  • Not going crazy. It's always been intended to be part of the Fediverse, it's just under heavy development and adding ActivityPub support is something the dev is working on right now.

  • Corporate Social Media is Junk Food

    Jump

  • TBH, I think this is a little counterproductive. It makes corporate social media seem like a delicious treat. Exhorting people to do the right thing like "eat your veggies" probably isn't the best way to convince them. Something like this seems like a better comparison. Something bad for you and gross, but uses flashy marketing to convince you otherwise:

  • Copying my comment from the cross-post. Anyone here know enough about ActivityPub to know how much work it will be to make it interoperate nicely with Lemmy in addition to Mastodon?

    Looks like it's still a WIP. lemmy.world says that it can't find the user, but my instance shows his profile:

    https://midwest.social/u/dansup@loops.video

    If you click on the full username, you get redirect to this page, which is the raw ActivityPub profile:

    Based on the mention of toots and mastodon, I'm guessing he's focusing on that first. Hopefully interoperability with Lemmy will come quickly though. Being able to embed loops as posts would be really nice.

  • Sidekicks introduces collective and anarchist posting

    Jump

  • The readme describes it better:

    Bot-centered Fediverse app. Users post ONLY through bots. On sign-up, every user chooses a bot (or Sidekick) and can then customize user experience and execute commands with it by posting to the bot. The post prompt is made customizable and elevated in this sense (fedi-app with custom-prompts).

  • I won't use threads, but the Fediverse is relatively small. It would suck if they managed to play dirty tricks and steal a large fraction of current fediverse users.

  • There's a lot of shitty things they can do. They could push for changes to ActivityPub that nobody sane wants, confusing everybody that says "We support ActivityPub", and spread FUD about anyone that doesn't move to their new shitty version. Similar to how Google pushes through changes to web standards that benefit them, forcing Firefox to implement them too.

  • Nope, those are all not clickable. Probably requires logging in or something. Does not inspire confidence in them being a long-term team player, but we'll see what happens I guess 🤷

  • Interesting. Can't tell if that worked because it wants me to log in. Wonder why they don't just allow appending the instance at the end like the rest of the fediverse does. Does that post show the username as plain text for you as well? It's still showing that way for me.
