Pixelfed introduces Loops, a Short-Form Video App
It was bound to happen sooner or later. At least the person behind the reigns already makes great apps. That’s right: Daniel Supernault, creator of Pixelfed, is building a new social video app called Loops.
Introducing Loops, a fediverse TikTok platform.
Explore and share short videos on the fediverse using your Pixelfed or Mastodon account.
Available Soon.

Not much is known about the app yet beyond what Dansup has said online. According to him, videos are only a maximum of 30 seconds in length, and that the Loops experience will be a separate app/platform from Pixelfed itself. Apparently, Loops is intended to recapture some of the experience of the beloved but short-lived Vine app. In Dansup’s own words, Loops is a revival of an older Pixelfed project, a dedicated UI for looping video.
The developer also stated an intention to assist and mentor the developer behind the similar Goldfish platform, which is intentionally designed to be more like Tiktok rather than Vine. Evidently, both apps are intended to be compatible with one another, as well as other video platforms in the Fediverse, such as PeerTube or Vidzy.
Honestly, I’m stoked about Loops, and can’t wait to beta test it. Maybe we could test it right alongside Dan’s other app, Sup?

Loops are for short duration videos (max 30 seconds) and is a separate app/platform from Pixelfed.We're also working with @stux and his #Goldfish project so the fediverse will have many options to choose from.
Loops is more like Vine, simple and short, for longer videos we think Goldfish and/or PeerTube can meet your needs.
This is the amazing thing about the fediverse, instead of competing with Goldfish, I'm mentoring/helping them.
In the fediverse, we all win, no matter the platform.
