Loops isn't the only short video platform in town!
You should checkout @vidzy, an exciting federated TikTok alternative with a webUI and federation support.
I hear they are beta testing their app too, which is pretty exciting.
I've been in touch with them, and look forward to working together on AP compatibility.
Give them a follow, and checkout their website!
(I know I'm a competitor to them, but when you care about users first, amazing things can happen 😉)
