Wow

Loops Web + Dark Mode ✨ #soon

Merry Christmas from @pixelfed and @loops 🎄

My favourite fediverse project isn't my own

It's Smithereen by @grishka

Grishka is building a federated Facebook/VK alternative, and also happens to be the official Mastodon android developer (guess who helped him land that job)

He is a very talented developer, and his project deserves way more attention!

The new Loops webUI is 🔥

#comingSoon #loops #webUI

I know mastodon.social is seen as a detriment to some in the fediverse

But have you ever considered my story?

Joined in 2016

Came back in 2018

Built an audience around my new project @pixelfed

We take m.s for granted, a large part of the fediverse literally wouldn't exist unless @Gargron built a suitable GNU/Social successor.

The fediverse is quick to point fingers at Mastodon and Gargron, but thanks to him, you have a platform to do that on.

We love you big G, you are my hero ❤️

Y'all be missing the point tho, it's not AP vs BlueSky

It's @loops vs TikTok

ActivityPub already won, now we about to bring the fediverse to the masses with Loops

Are you with us?

🚀

#loops

We've already hit 810 sign-ups!

Working hard to get everyone onboarded tonight 🚀

Loops aims to be the #fediverse TikTok

We're building it for everyone, even those who may not care about federation!

The whole platform and discovery algorithm will be open source

But more importantly, I'm eager to implement better safety and moderation tools to empower users and admins to create more safe, healthy and sustainable communities.

We can do this better, without influencers 😎

@isaakubus @pixelfed This is the first I'm hearing about it, nobody has ever filed a bug report yet!

@isaakubus @pixelfed Something may be wrong with your specific account, let me look into this!

@isaakubus @pixelfed What is your default browser?

@isaakubus @pixelfed I apologize, I need a bit more info so I can figure out the issue.

What country are you based in? It seems like you are not getting the proper app version, or maybe Cloudflare is blocking the login API

(Because it does work for me and several people I know who use it daily)

@isaakubus @pixelfed Last attempt, uninstall the app.

Download and install THIS EXACT APK

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed-rn/releases/download/v1.0.0.68/app-release.apk

@isaakubus @pixelfed Make sure you uninstall the app, and re-install.

You know it will be the right version when it looks like this.

@isaakubus @pixelfed How are you installing the app? Where are you getting it from?

Try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixelfed

@isaakubus That is the OLD VERSION!

@isaakubus The app is in beta, and open source, so please report any issues to https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed-rn/issues

@isaakubus That is the old app, uninstall it and download the updated version.
