Posting interesting/cool/funny videos from Loops here
Thanks to @Bluefruit@lemmy.world for the icon and banner!
Discussion of and questions about Loops should go over in !loops@lemmy.world
If the loop you're posting isn't original content uploaded by the creator, prefix the title with ♻️ or [R] (if you don't feel like typing an emoji) for "reposted". For example, ♻️ Cute dog or [R] Cute dog.
Note that some loopers upload their loops to multiple platforms including Loops, so you might see insta/tiktok logos on videos that aren't marked as reposts.
If you know the source for a loop marked ♻️/[R], please comment with it!

Thanks for the shout out. Definitely still a beta feature, but it seems to be working very well. Hopefully Loops doesn't do something user-hostile and block non-browser traffic with Cloudflare or something because that would break this integration. At least I'm being considerate and caching the lookup responses lol.
Any testing/bug reporting is appreciated, but one area where it would be extra appreciated is on iOS. I no longer have an iPhone to test with, so that's been a testing blind spot for several months now.
This is fantastic! I have seen no bugs so far but I will let you know if I do. In fact the ability to control the video offers more functionality than the standard webpage player does (without an account)!? And as for the rest (attribution) there is always the link to it directly.
One thing I would suggest is to stop playing the video as the page scrolls downwards. Probably you already had that planned:-).
I said it already but I want to say it again: this is fantastic!:-)
It should already do that for all media, unless it's just broken in the Loops component; I'll take a look shortly. Any active media should return to a thumbnail when it's out of the viewport for 2 seconds (the countdown disarms if you scroll it back into view). It used to stop the video and return it to a thumbnail immediately when the post left the viewport, but I added a 2 second delay because resizing the browser window would destroy the video if it went out of frame and that was annoying lol.
If it doesn't do that (for any media), can you let me know what browser/device you're using?
