for anyone looking for an activitypub alternative check out loops.video. based on the same tech as lemmy, piefed, mbin, mastodon, pixelfed, etc.

This is the only right answer.

Loops it is. If it’s not fedi it’s not for me.

So can I somehow use my lemmy account?

Postimo@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 231d

No, sadly. I think there was some cross over with pixelfed, as the creator makes both. But Simply using the same protocol is not enough to use the same log in. Some day in the utopic fediverse future, it could be that it seamlessly caries over, but we are still building that future.

You can't, but you could comment or "like" loops.videos if they come across your feed. I'm on mastodon and have seen a few come through. No need to even have an account on loops, the beauty of the fediverse.

Loops gained 400 users in the last few days - https://loops.fediverse.observer/dailystats

400? Sounds like the next big one.

Yeah turns out the general population doesn't like installing their social media from an apk or through TestFlight

Are you illiterate, or did you comment without reading the provided link?

Edit: people not reading the source is what turns us into reddit, you stupid cunts.

In the amount of time it took you to type that, you could have been helpful, instead.
