@dansup @Mastodon could you explain what you mean by Lemmy is running a centralised directory and how that is bad please? Just trying to understand.

@dansup but am using IOS. 😭

@dansup why does the camera icon only allow me to share a prerecorded video?

@dansup I just got my welcome email, now just waiting for the test flight email 🙌

@dansup who are you using for your live streaming side of the business? like is it a pure NGINX RTMP stream or a platform?

@dansup I still haven’t got my welcome email. Not sure if it’s delayed

@dansup loops is cool, and I want to use it. Sometimes you throw something out there to see what people think. I guess my question is. Is loops better than TikTok.

@dansup I would have released it before they do

@dansup but if meta came to you and offered you $5million(USD) would you sell?

@dansup nothing wrong with ads

@dansup @loops Just to clarrify, our UI will have shorts up the top (like youtube) and normal post which in our case podcast episodes down in the main area of a profile.

@dansup @loops Ok, great we thinking the same. Now one of the things I am thinking, is we don't want to flood notes with shorts (loops) so how will other clients like mastodon be able to seperate them?

I would rather follow your lead so our apps can communicate to each other follower wise.

I am guessing you don't want text notes for example showing.

@dansup @loops are you doing it 16:9 or allowing loops to be in any aspectratio?

I am looking at away for podcasters to have shorts in the style of Tiktok/youtube shorts.

Is there an #ActivityPub app like TikTok out of interest?

Hopefully this has rolled out to all our servers by now.

It’s part of our push into the #activitypub and will give every podcast and radio show its own unique voice.

It uses banners, icons and in the next few days we will publish the total number of views / listeners for each episode. We went with the word view because it’s 5 digits nothing more.

Thanks to @samsethi who suggested we allow the banner to have a sound button.

#podcastBanners in the wild.
