I signed up for Loops the first day. I didn't get an email confirmation until two days after, and I still haven't been given a way to sign in.

I don't really need any form of TikTok im afraid

(insert here the "The TikTok at home" meme format) So actually I did my own with PeerTube (self hosted server side) and Latrix (mobile client to live stream) and you can see the result at https://video.benetou.fr/w/p/hfPcHz1kCgnM6zKhfPrS4b (playlist of 6 short videos with progress over time).

I'd argue it... works. Is it necessary or useful? Well I didn't keep up with the format but it potentially can be. My point being... we already have quite a few tools in place.

I wanted an account, verification email is not arrived.

The waiting list is still very long at this point. Probably don't expect to get in for like 2 weeks...

Lemmy’s final boss..

Then again, Lemmy and ActivityPub are (by design) wide open to anyone, including TenCent

This is pretty cool. I'll check it out.

Sounds cool for hosting videos! Maybe I'll try it.

The first round of applications are for ios only, android has to wait, would have liked to have known that information before I spent the last week waiting.
