We need a way to embed them as a post.
It’s just an MP4 file, which you can link to in the same way as any other.

What is a loops
Federated tiktok-like service
Looks like it’s still a WIP. lemmy.world says that it can’t find the user, but my instance shows his profile:
https://midwest.social/u/[email protected]
If you click on the full username, you get redirect to this page, which is the raw ActivityPub profile:
{ "@context": [ "https://w3id.org/security/v1", "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", { "toot": "http://joinmastodon.org/ns", "manuallyApprovesFollowers": "as:manuallyApprovesFollowers", "indexable": "toot:indexable" } ], "id": "https://loops.video/ap/user/1", "type": "Person", "following": "https://loops.video/ap/user/1/following", "followers": "https://loops.video/ap/user/1/followers", "inbox": "https://loops.video/ap/user/1/inbox", "outbox": "https://loops.video/ap/user/1/outbox", "preferredUsername": "dansup", "name": "dansup", "summary": "", "url": "https://loops.video/@dansup", "manuallyApprovesFollowers": true, "indexable": false, "published": "2024-06-06T10:30:00+00:00", "publicKey": { "id": "https://loops.video/ap/user/1#main-key", "owner": "https://loops.video/ap/user/1", "publicKeyPem": "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nMIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA1zzC7XBF81lhJV1o47AA\n9JgguOxygANanxzRUaGOA7BUC9kAWbXI2CoQtzVBTGRiSaiy84d8UgdKQOiAT49m\nmmPdkdnb7zeL7PUKVucv5ppxL5pjXvx11FfYDOIvy52TxjirDIEhvSCiau3BSYf7\nvXtIgsoGnVTkDaStoDauDMfEPGnf6E7eCWHKPOkbeuxF3B3k/Mz2qEmg2MXxegt/\njE4Y75E0BiPs+GeCcYBwri6QddGlQlfveUmj5ZGN2AZGaZdZBNE4FlvJK14GIiTi\n/xT1rYJgwEViFSvGdqXXeRWcWth6UzyzzQrUARLniAf9xcFyYFdx6oJmI3Mu4EWd\nMwIDAQAB\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----\n" }, "icon": { "type": "Image", "mediaType": "image/jpeg", "url": "https://loopsusercontent.com/avatars/1/v0.jpg" } }Based on the mention of toots and mastodon, I’m guessing he’s focusing on that first. Hopefully interoperability with Lemmy will come quickly though. Being able to embed loops as posts would be really nice.
It looks like if you can somehow get the video file URL (Andrew’s reply to a different comment in this post) it works? So the trick could be to get that, to streamline the whole process.
Edit: oh but I guess that leaves a lot out - the username, the little comment, the hearts or whatever they are (I don’t have an account), and the comments. Like embedding a YouTube video, it would need to provide a link to the full package as well as the video itself as just a preview.
The post on Loops is a Note made by a Person, so it’s good for any part of the Fediverse that lets you follow a Person. For Lemmy, it’d need to a Note made by a Person to a Group (aka a community). Loops is by the same guy that does PixelFed, which was supposed to be getting Group support, but I don’t think it ever happened.
