Use loops the fediverse version. which has Android and iPhone apps and ofc doesn’t have ads. Made by same guy who made piefed the Instagram alternative. Fuck the mega corps and their privacy invading and political manipulation!
The android app is on GitHub here. Version 1.0.0.9 from 15 November. Seems they are either no longer developing the android app, or at least prioritizing the iOS version.
Whoops I was wrong sorry 😢 I’m on iPhone and there’s an app so I presumed it already had an android app that was even further along. Surprised they have iPhone first (yes I have iPhone after always having android and will likely go back)
I love the idea of Loops, but it needs a lot of work. You can’t even delete a video once it’s uploaded. Every user’s video is chronologically in order in your feed, so if there’s a user who will post 5-6 in a row and you get them all. If you leave the app, it starts over and you only see the videos uploaded most recently over again and again. You can add hashtags to a video description, but have to scroll to the next video to see them and you can’t click them anyway. The search function is useless too.

Here’s the Lemmy communities for it !loops@midwest.social !loops@lemmy.world
Can you share where to find the android app? I can’t see it in the play store or fdroid

I signed up and got an email with a link to the apk. I’d share, but it looks like it’s personalized to my email maybe? and it doesn’t work anymore

There is an android version distributed on github, but it’s no longer listed on the loops.video page anymore for some reason.
Just replying because I wasn’t able to find it either

Yeah well, it is definitely in alpha stages, those things are to be expected.
I’m not ruling it out, just making an observation. I posted my thoughts on the loops community. I want this app to make it.
