   Loops and Sup were created out of my frustration with the state of the pixelfed app.

   Things have changed, the new app is not only better, but ready for these features, but now I'm wondering if I should keep them separate

   🤔

     This is frequently the way with outgrowths. Perhaps incorporate them as named Features? Even if they have their own infrastructure.

     I will proceed with separate apps, however, the main Pixelfed app with support both DMs and Video feeds like Loops.

     My goal is to keep Pixelfed focused on our goal of photo/video sharing, but with seamless integration with our other services like Loops and Sup.

     @dansup i assume pixelfed would support following loops users but not post anything (as it is now), which is fine for most i guess

     its kind of like twitter and vine was or instagram and reels, both works

     @dansup I'm late to reply but I prefer the videos and photos apps to be separate. It can feel very unprofessional very quickly to have a bunch of nonsense internet videos mixed in with photography. Instagram feels like a junkyard of memes and nonsense at this point and it's nice that PixelFed isn't like that. Bogging down an app with too many things at once makes Instagram awful to use. I think this is why TikTok works better too. That's my 2 cents.
