Sorry, let me change the title. I don't use the big tech stuff, so not sure what to compare it to exactly.

I wish it would stop showing videos i have already seen.

Since it's OSS, you can make a feature request or even implement the feature yourself, I guess.

that's the meat and potato of these addictive platforms, I wonder if anyone will ever open source it. twitter does that half assed I think

Is this different from Pixelfred?
jagermo@feddit.org · 24 pts · 65d
It's from the same dev, focusing on short videos

Wouldn't that make it a TikTok alternative? Or has Instagram stopped being a photo platform?
jagermo@feddit.org · 8 pts · 65d
It sadly has.

It's more of a TikTok or Instagram Reels alternative than a standard Instagram one.

It's the video part of instagram

It's very German centric in the default server but everything seems to work well

Noticed the same and iirc shifted instance anyway when this came out. Is it easier now to see an all-instance feed?

I haven't really figured that out yet but it doesn't seem to work like Lemmy or Mastodon

Downloaded the new version and it seems to still be manual browsing only. The project discord might have more info but I avoid that app

Short form and vertical videos are cancer. The cure is not an open source viewer - not watching that slop entirely is.

@dansup@mastodon.social https://joinloops.org/ renders extremely slowly. Scrolling is very laggy. At least in my mobile phone from 3 years ago.

Is it possible to post a video from the website yet?
Last I tried even the most basic feature wasn't implemented lol
