Pretty much everything I’ve seen so far has been uncredited reposts from YouTube/Vine/TikTok. Is there anyone consistently uploading original content yet?

The web interface doesn’t let you click on anything so I can’t see profiles but I don’t want to download it and set up an account if it’s all cropped versions of stuff I’ve seen before

    Yeah, there’s definitely OC on there. There’s a lot of reposts because of how new Loops is, for sure. I’ve seen #loops and #DogsOfLoops in video descriptions, both of which I assume mean it’s not simply reposting content from other platforms, though they might also be posting to multiple platforms.

    Here’s some loops that seem Loops-specific (just picking out of the most recent I’ve posted to Lemmy):

    https://loops.video/v/4VDE-V26lK

    https://loops.video/v/4TI9IwwBfI

    https://loops.video/v/4U23u2RLgd

    https://loops.video/v/4UKQ3fJfjw

    https://loops.video/v/4VHm7ju6m3

    https://loops.video/v/4U-ezRPDjM

    Some creators that are consistently uploading original content are:

    @PixysLoops@loops.video

    @eureka@loops.video

    @mondstern@loops.video

    @Lamaskier@loops.video

    @abrahampiper@loops.video

    EDIT: Oh also, @Krafting@lemmy.world created !loops@lemmy.world for discussion of Loops. I don’t mind posting questions here, but I figure some people might block this community if they feel it’s spammy, so you might not get some people seeing your question.

      Thank you! I would love to see Loops succeed but I’ve been worried it’s just another “bucket” for people to dump reposts into. Maybe I’ll give it a spin now

        I’ve been posting loops indiscriminately for sure, but part of that is hoping that it will draw Lemmings in that start posting OC, and someday I can add a requirement for not posting reposted tiktoks to this community.

          I get it, gotta have something for strangers to want to join.

          Don’t take my comment as admonishment or anything but if you’re interested in a suggestion, maybe tag the posts from original creators to highlight them? [OC] obviously won’t work…and [Original Loop] might be too verbose…so I guess my suggestion ends there lol

            That’s a good idea, actually. Maybe shorten it to [OL] and explain in the sidebar or something

            EDIT: Added a new rule that reposted content has to be prefixed with [R]. That way, OC for Loops is privileged by not having to have the prefix.
