I'll check it out once it's on android, this one more than any other fedi alternative will live or die with its content I think
Already on android in .apk
Google Play and F-Droid pending

Denied access without an account, no thanks.

You can just use the website: https://loops.video/
It just doesn't make that much sense since you probably want to store your place in the feed somewhere.

Before the app was released, I noticed that suddenly there were many new users. Previously, making an account wasn't open to everyone, but apparently that has changed too.

Strange stipulation for a fediverse app.

You can only watch like 10 videos without an account. And no search.
No thanks!

Is that just for the loops.video instance, I wonder? Maybe alternative instances allow you to watch without logging in?

I'm guessing maybe they mean instead of iPad too. Which is true.

Not sure to be honest. I couldn’t find a list of instances.
I might consider the video format platform if they ease the login requirements and allow 3rd party apps which allow you to choose what instance to connect.

I mixed up loops and threats (Meta) and I was honestly surprised.

Guess I'm getting loops, thanks thread below this one for promoting it and this thread for telling me it's on the store.

It's not on play store. You have to side load it.
-
Waiting for play Store
You wrote "F-Droid" wrong.

For content creators it needs a built-in editor instead of forcing every video to be one take. And for consumers it needs a really good recommendation algorithm. The reason TikTok is so successful is that its absurdly efficient (and incredibly invasive) algorithm will find you content you'd like within probably minutes of setting up an account.
I like that this exists, but I don't think it's ready for mass adoption yet.

Unclear if typo, or intentional insult. Either way, leave it that way.

English is not my first language. Or second. It took me a few rereads to even see the mistake.
Either way, I'll leave ir

I guess it is an "improvement" that we can replace corporate brain rot with community brain rot, but this isn't going to change my mind about short form video.
