Cool, but Loops is not a Fediverse app until it federates, and it can't be self-hosted until the code is available.

I have stickers (and was sharing them at FOSDEM) but I haven't put them online anywhere yet, I need to get on that! Thanks for liking it!

well, except that is not actually federated yet.

Here is the Ghost talk from FOSDEM 2025 https://video.fosdem.org/2025/ud2208/fosdem-2025-4673-networked-journalism-bringing-long-form-publishing-to-the-fediverse.av1.webm

yes, although they are not all available yet. Here is the link to the videos from the room that hosted the Social Web track. https://video.fosdem.org/2025/ud2208/

There was a good talk about this at FOSDEM at the weekend!

If the user didn't make their posts as discoverable, then no, they will not be returned in a search. The search is opt-in. It is not ideal, but it is a way to respect user privacy. I was making the point that search exists now, even if it had previously been rejected as a feature to implement, so it is not impossible for folks to change their opinions on including features.

I do not think that is a factual representation of the team dynamics, but of course, you are free to choose that interpretation.

quote posts are being implemented.

I don't know, I was not involved if that was said at some time, but now, we have search, so I don't know what to tell you.

won’t implement it.

"not sure downvotes make sense" -> it might not be a good fit for what the app is -> so maybe it would not make sense to implement.

I should be able to search for a keyword or URL on all instances

We're working on this. It's part of Fediscovery. Optional opt-in discovery across instances, if a user wants their content to be discoverable across instances.

Search exists. I'm not sure downvotes make sense in the context of a microblogging app, but YMMV. There's a lot of things to work on, for sure.
