  • I think pixelfed would be the flagship dansup projects that should work. Too bad I only made an account then proceeded to do nothing with it.

    With loops I just tried to help dansup, put pressure on him to see if he was gonna do anything with loops and he blocked me. That gave me the impression that loops wasn’t going anywhere and I was half right the progress doesn’t seem to be going in the fediverse direction but on other random features

    Actually loops is 5 years old, but it seemed to have a big overhaul in the past few months as in it actually going through development and the source code is actually being published.

    Apparently the activitypub protocol was announced to be implemented in October of 2025. Which is kinda funny.

    Also I did hop to different instances looking for users on across instances and yeah I could only find 1 out of half dozen I tried. So I’m sceptical on activitypub protocol integration. It could be that they aren’t federated

    I’m actually impressed that there is 8 instances because I didn’t except there to be more than one this year

    I help dansup with loops back in February and January. I put some pressure on him for answers and well he folded and basically blocked me, so I got the impression that he didn’t have the temperament to develop loops, but I’m half wrong because well he did eventually make it open source.

    Also dansup is getting paid, he asked for grants and ran a fundraiser specifically for loops, so it’s not exactly “in their free time”




  • I’m say loops is fedi-washed like a reactionary. There’s no other instances, apparently it dies use the activityhub protocol.

    I will comment that the major corporate sites like reddit and YouTube make hard for fediverse platforms to take off because they’re hard to complete with. When they started out they didn’t have competition people would get bored and come to them, then they would build niche communities on their own.

    There hasn’t been a blunder for most of 2025. Id count the tik Tok ban generally being the last one to capitalize on (but I believe that loops project just didn’t bother to act).

    I’ll have to research that last paragraph
