Loops Live
Federated short video platform for the Fediverse
Loops is a federated short-video platform - think TikTok, but open-source and built on the ActivityPub protocol so no single company controls the network. It ships as a self-hostable server with a modern web app and native mobile apps for iOS and Android, giving people a full creative toolkit including camera recording, AR filters, duets, playlists, and discovery features like Starter Kits. It exists because the most popular content format on the internet shouldn't be locked inside a single company's walled garden. Every feature, from federation to moderation tooling, is designed around the idea that communities should own their spaces.
