Loops makes federation management easy.
You can mass-import servers to block, enforce authorized access and more 💪
We have more safety features coming!

Alright, so I found a few minor issues with Loops federation that I'm working on fixing, then I can ship this much anticipated ActivityPub PR to Loops.
Shoutout to Laravel Telescope, such a handy tool for debugging this, I can follow the request through Jobs, Database Queries and Services, making debugging very easy 😎

So Loops has public hashtag feeds, but they are limited for guests, and after reaching the end of the limited feed, will show this modal instead of what Pixelfed does (which is only show 20 posts per tag even though there are more).
I think it's a much better UX, and while I'd love to provide infinite scroll feeds for guests, it would be easily abused by (AI) crawlers.
Privacy and Safety come first 😎

Loops also has a UserAuditLog, to track various changes, and will be viewable in the Settings.
We can also use this in a few other places, like if you accidentally saved an empty bio, you can easily revert changes.
A lot of thought has gone into every detail, and I can't wait to ship federation in Loops so I can focus on the new FYF algorithm and other upcoming features like Duets, Stitches and the Sound Library!

Loops leverages a clever and extensible `matchUrlTemplate` helper that is used to validate existence when handling federated Activities.
Unlike Pixelfed and Mastodon, we have seperate tables/models for Comments and Comment Replies (and Reposts/Boosts), leading to more performant queries.
One more thing, we also plan to support username changes by referencing profile ids in activities, instead of usernames 😎
Loops is basically a fully public platform, which is why I've delayed DM's and a few other things.
I want to implement follower-only accounts, but it requires a few new backend and UI/UX changes/refactors.
Once I ship federation support, I will start working on this, and allow you to easily "disable comments" on all your videos with one button press if you're being attacked or brigated.
Stay tuned loopers 😘
Loops handles mentions and hashtags in captions differently than mastodon + pixelfed, but better.
Instead of returning html, we simply use plaintext and provide a map of mentions/hashtags/links with indices so you can properly autolink them in your client.
Twitter pioneered this method, and it works great, especially on mobile when you want to capture these types of links to handle better.
