Hi @dansup@mastodon.social! We recently added a dedicated view for Loops (and YouTube Shorts) in Catodon, and I'm looking into letting our users post short videos that Loops users can see. As far as I can tell (correct me if I'm wrong), Loops videos federate as plain notes with an mp4 attachment, each Loops admin has to allow servers or software one by one, and newly discovered servers always start blocked.
Two ideas/proposals:
Could Loops define a simple property (ideally as a FEP) that marks a post as a short video, with its length and size, so other platforms can use it too? It would be great to get @peertube@framapiaf.org on board as well.
Could Loops admins have an option to accept marked short videos from any server they haven't blocked (with the usual size and length limits), instead of allowing servers one at a time?
We'd be happy to help write the FEP and to support it in Catodon from day one.
