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

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

      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

        Wouldn’t that make it a TikTok alternative? Or has Instagram stopped being a photo platform?

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

    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

    @[email protected] https://joinloops.org/ renders extremely slowly. Scrolling is very laggy. At least in my mobile phone from 3 years ago.
