Is Loops ready for wide scale adoption and federation yet? We kinda need a replacement for tiktok, otherwise the addicts will jump to yet another Chinese platform.
Sadly it needs a lot of work, I went on it the other day and the app itself crashed at least seven times in the 15 minutes that I was using it
Doesn't look like it to me. I tried to sign up yesterday and haven't received the validation email.
Edit: and the UI was very barren and minimal on the video I watched.
There's a ton of domestic TikTok clones already, like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
They already have.
Nowhere near imo. Download the app and see for yourself. It needs WORK.
Link to download? I checked the Play store and there's a billion apps called Loops
Edit: I found it
