Loops are for short duration videos (max 30 seconds) and is a separate app/platform from Pixelfed.
We're also working with @stux and his #Goldfish project so the fediverse will have many options to choose from.
Loops is more like Vine, simple and short, for longer videos we think Goldfish and/or PeerTube can meet your needs.
This is the amazing thing about the fediverse, instead of competing with Goldfish, I'm mentoring/helping them.
In the fediverse, we all win, no matter the platform.
A while ago I've set my focus back on web dev again and mainly the Goldfish concept
Currently I'm busy getting fully back into the code with courses so that we can rewrite the front- and backend in the right away with a seperation and API
