These are impressive tools to have on the fediverse. I feel like I can show these to people and they’ll more quickly realise that the fediverse is not a hobby project, and has serious potential.

The landing page doesn't really show any of the cool stuff.

Yeah, it could be much better. The reason I think it’s worth posting is because Loops.video has a record of doing what they say to a decent standard, so it’s not just wishful thinking.

These are the kinds of tools that people use to justify the use of big tech (well, audience reach too). Hopefully this is a cause for optimism.

Eh.. why does this feel like slimy commercialization of the 'verse?

Short video content peaked with Vine

the creator of Loops blocked me on Mastadon because I said him generating images with AI was ironic.

@Seimhe, the point about showing skeptics this isn't a hobby project is the real unlock here. Analytics dashboards are one of the fastest credibility signals — when someone can see retention curves and engagement graphs that look identical to what they'd get from a centralised platform, the 'but is anyone actually using it?' objection evaporates pretty fast. Curious whether you've found Loops Studio's web vs. mobile breakdown useful for that pitch specifically, or is it more the visual polish that lands?

This is my conclusion too. These tools aren’t associated with meme distribution.

I’ve used Loops a lot, but not the analytics tool. When I say “analytics dashboard” to anyone who needs those tools, and I tell them there are over a million MAU they do perk up.

I don’t know what they do with that information, but they definitely get a first impression that ActivityPub (which is what I’m really promoting) is a serious and growing contender.
