Loops is officially live on the Google Play Store. To everyone on Android who's been waiting, thank you for sticking around. You've been asking for this since day one, sideloading builds, poking me in replies, reminding me you exist. I heard you the whole time. So here it

Loops (the Fediverse alternative to Tiktok) is now available for both iOS, and Android.

It was previously only available for iOS, or Android (via APK).

      It’s like most of the fediverse… it sucks because there’s basically zero content/discoverability

          just block the anime meme communities if they bother you, the point of lemmy is to have a personalised experience

            That is not the point of Lemmy.

            I’m so tired of people thinking the point of social media is to create a personalized echo chamber.

          You won’t hear it from the users here obviously, because of self-righteous anti-capitalist views that drove them here in the first place. And I’m not saying they are wrong or it’s a bad thing, but now you’ve got the furry/band kid table from the high school lunch room helping you form your political opinion and consume your time with AWFUL anime memes.

          I’m a “self-righteous” anti-capitalist, but I’m not a furry or band geek.

          That and the confusing system for platforms/instances will drive away everyday users who are used to an easy sign up

          I’ll never really understand this critique of lemmy/fediverse. It’s not that hard. You just, uhh, pick one. If you don’t like it, just pick another.

          If reddit fails, another capitalist will swoop in and take their place.

          I’m not sure about that. Most people prefer the twitter-like platform, short-form content. Reddit style is a dying model imo. It’s not even that useful anymore, as everything is hidden away in Megathreads.

          But yea, I doubt it will ever be mainstream. I’m fine with that though. Nothing I do is very mainstream. I’m just hipster like that I guess.
