I think I just had THE fediverse moment:Scrolling through my timeline watching text posts, photos, a peertube video...A short video.

I think I just had THE fediverse moment:
Scrolling through my timeline watching text posts, photos, a peertube video...A short video."ah nice MTB video" , I thought. Until I saw the handle: someone@loops. Wait.. I see a loops here. This isn't just a video. This is a video on A DIFFERENT Service. And I can seamlessly interact with it.
A new service just integrated seamlessly into my timeline. No "connect your account", no "extra app", no "extra login", no, it's just there
This is #fediverse

@hikingdude Thanks a lot for pointing this out. I just registered an account and I am going to watch this closely. If it gets stable and is released to the public I'll surely set up my own instance on my docker host.

@hikingdude and #Loops is not TikTok, so even better

I see a new selfhosting opportunity for me....@hikingdude @elperronegro Very nice! But I somehow can't figure out how to follow a Loops account from Mastodon.
Any pointers?

@hikingdude @_elena I was explaining this very thing to a friend who was a fediverse skeptic.
And… he didn't get why this is the best thing, ever for social media.

@slothrop @hikingdude Strange. I managed to follow my loops account through Mastodon without a problem. Try entering the whole URL into the search facility on Mastodon (ie https://loops.video/@elperronegro)

@slothrop @elperronegro@shmg.online
Uh, just click on the profile or the video above and hit follow? Doesn't that work for you?
@elperronegro@loops.videoI'm using the Mastodon client and it really was that easy.

@MishaVelthuis you can actually quote loops here, you knew?

I just told my wife "like if you scroll through Instagram and see YouTube there as well".

@sunnythesheep @adipoeserPursch @hikingdude
Yes! I originally posted that as a quote, and it showed up as a quote, but then I edited the post (I added "Another one!") and then it stopped showing up as a quote. Maybe on Mastodon the link to the other post has to be the last line of the post for it show up as a quoted post?

@MishaVelthuis for what I can see:
- you didn't actually quote the first time either, but just linked it externally. There's different ways on Mastodon to quote. Copy-pasting the URL is one of them, but sometimes the preview doesn't load, then it'll become just an external link, once posted. Solution: try pasting again in the edit window.
- and yes, quoting a quote doesn't actually show the original post as a quote, but always only the last one in the "chain".

@hikingdude @_elena I'll wear him down. I am nothing if not relentless.
The #Fediverse has given me so much - so many wonderful connections all around the world. -

@MishaVelthuis I also checked: your instance social.edu.nl is running on Mastodon v4.5.5, so it SHOULD support quotes already.
