We're excited to announce that Loops now federates with the fediverse. After months of development, ActivityPub support has officially entered beta. Your loops can now travel across the open social web.
What This Actually Means
If you're on Loops, you can now follow creators on Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, and any
Neat! Been meaning to flesh out my social media usage to other federated platforms, and hopefully not be so reliant on Lemmy in general. So far, only on Lemmy, but want to join Pixelfed, Mastodon, etc, just not sure where to make an account.
For Mastodon, I’d recommend just joining any large instance that’s been around for a while. You can always move accounts if you decide on a different one later. Mastodon makes it pretty easy, and can automatically notify your followers if you hop to a different one. You can also run your own with masto.host for like 6 bucks a month. I’m on pixelfed.social, and been pretty happy with it.
Thanks, I’ll check em out! Also saw matopacos.dog, looks good too!
oh yeah that’s a good instance that’s generally friendly for leftists
