@dansup

in order to like and comment a video, i have to copy the permalink and search it from my mastodon account.

Could it be smoother ?

@dansup Then don't say we don't need an account to explore it though

@krafting you can explore without an account, we just simply limit it. Mastodon does this too.

@dansup congrats on the launch, looks good! But this "feature" copied from big tech kind of sucks. It's annoying and doesn't really align with the fediverse idea. :(

Screenshot of loops.video. The content is blurred and there is a popup titled "Keep Watching" with the text "Create a free account to continue exploring videos and discover amazing content from creators around the world." There are "Create Account" and "Log in" buttons below.

@jomo there is a really good reason behind this, we don't want to make it easy for (AI) crawlers to scrape our public endpoints, so we limit them, and while most software (like Pixelfed) just shows 10 or so results, I figured it would be better to indicate to the user there are more if they login.

@dansup @jomo maybe it should not be a popup, but just scroll into view at the end?

currently to look at the last featured video i have to first dismiss the popup, which needlessly blurs the entire screen
