We need a way to embed them as a post.
It’s just an MP4 file, which you can link to in the same way as any other.

What is a loops
Federated tiktok-like service
Looks like it’s still a WIP. lemmy.world says that it can’t find the user, but my instance shows his profile:
https://midwest.social/u/dansup@loops.video
If you click on the full username, you get redirect to this page, which is the raw ActivityPub profile:

Based on the mention of toots and mastodon, I’m guessing he’s focusing on that first. Hopefully interoperability with Lemmy will come quickly though. Being able to embed loops as posts would be really nice.
The post on Loops is a Note made by a Person, so it’s good for any part of the Fediverse that lets you follow a Person. For Lemmy, it’d need to a Note made by a Person to a Group (aka a community). Loops is by the same guy that does PixelFed, which was supposed to be getting Group support, but I don’t think it ever happened.
