Wow.
The Loops.video community has spent 666 hours of cumulative watch time on the new For You feed.
That's 27+ days of non-stop watch time!
And yes, we do store the watch time in seconds for each video you watch in the For You feed, that helps the algorithm determine your interest.
Think that's creepy? Hide or avoid the For You feed, we don't track watch time on the local or following feed.
The best of both worlds, with you in control, as it should be ❤️

Loops Nested Comment Quote Post Test ✨
I'm spending a few hours every other day working on Loops, while I focus on Pixelfed.
One exciting new feature is Admin Invites, allowing admins to close registrations and share powerful invite links that have many interesting side effects (like auto follows, bypassing email verification and email notifications).
Thanks to @shlee for suggesting this feature, and while I do want to support Curated Onboarding eventually, this is a great temporary alternative.
The beauty of #ActivityPub
Yes, Loops federates, and admins can enable any remote instance video posts to appear in local follower feeds AND you can even include them in the For You page ✨
Your Voice Matters. #Loops #Governance
Loops also uses snowflake ids for ActivityPub actor identifiers!
I noticed that Mastodon has adopted this too, great to see. I will be bringing this to Pixelfed later this year as well 😁
I'm super proud of how I implemented deeply nested comment permalinks in Loops.
It's a bit trickier than say Mastodon, where you just need the parent post context (and maybe children) since we only display comments in the video permalink.
And the UI I designed for this makes it really easy to view the comment and even the parent if applicable.
