@grosser_mensch we already do!
Pixelfed uses our internal Beagle service to populate trending posts in the mobile app, even for new servers!
We will extend this to the webUI in our next release.

Content discovery network that connects new instances to the broader Loops ecosystem, ensuring fresh communities never start with empty feeds.

Yeah, the cold-start problem almost disincentivizes new admins + instances, but not for long ✨
In case you missed it, I updated the Loops roadmap!
It's quite feature packed 😉
@trankten Nope, as in https://joinloops.org/roadmap
ActivityPub doesn't need task forces to build onboarding resources.
It just takes one person and a bit of courage.
For both developers and the public.
https://fediverse.info - for the public
activitypub.social - for devs (coming soon)

The 3 stages of Loops
@VTDARKSIM that's odd, try leaving the beta and rejoin!
Hot take: Your ActivityPub project is invisible.
I got TechCrunch coverage for Loops with literally just a signup form because I wouldn't shut up about it.
Ship in public. Make noise. Be annoying if you have to.
Stop being humble. Start being loud. Your project deserves attention but you have to demand it.

@tsadilas yes, not everyone has the app installed, and some people don't like to use apps.
If I shipped Loops a year ago in its very alpha state, it wouldn't be what it is today.
The delay was crucial as it allowed me to architect the backend properly, leveraging the real world usage of loops.video alpha/mvp to build a proper foundation that would become loops v1.
It's really CRUD + ffmpeg that are the real heros of this story, we just put lipstick on it and shout a bit louder 😅

I made a lot of new websites this year, but the one I'm most proud of is joinloops.org.
The amount of time spent iterating designs, writing copy and finding the proper icons was much longer than it took me to redesign fediDB.com
Designing the loops webUI is second, because oh dang it's complex.
Oh, what a year it has been

productive year I mean 🚀
(not including the new Pixelfed or Loops apps)
I’ve grown a lot this year, and fixed a lot of relationships too.
I’m only successful because of you, and you’ve helped me become a better and stronger leader.
No more drama, ego or insults. What we’re building together is far more important.
So I’ll listen and focus on your feedback.
Together we’ll make 2026 the year of the social web 🚀
What’s really special about Loops is how wild, wacky and pure it is.
The community has started doing things I never expected, like create video responses, and I’m over here in awe because ppl actually like, use and enjoy it, so it drives me to implement and build new features like Video Comment Replies and it’s a dream 🥰
It’s a positive feedback loop of community driven evolution.
That’s why I made this Governance page on our website.
Loops belongs to you ❤️
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
@andypiper I'm so sorry.
No one expects you to hold it together, that's what eulogies are for, letting the tears come while the words do too.
We're all here for you. Sending love and hugs.
Here if you need anything. ❤️
I get the jealousy of Pixelfed users when they see how amazing Loops is progressing.
What they don't see is what I've been working on behind the scenes for Pixelfed.
I'm not teasing or promising anything, I learned my lesson. It will arrive when ready, without screenshots, and ready to use 😉
Dropbox is that ex who still thinks you're together.
"You've hit your storage limit"
Babe, we broke up in 2014. I've moved on. You should too.
Dropbox really emailing me about storage limits.
My brother in Christ, the last file I uploaded was a dubstep remix in 2013.
Delete my account. End my suffering.
