I'm a bit worried that Loops.video may become too centralized and lead to a situation where new instances are seen as empty by users, further incentivizing Loops.video growth.

How do we solve this?

With @activityrank, an open source service that helps solve the "cold-start" problem in a federated manor to help provide some initial content to new and growing Loops servers.

Let me know what you think, feedback wanted!

We need to get this right before it's too late ❤️

RE: mastodon.social/@dansup/115745

Loops.video is the flagship server of Loops, but we need to consider the ethical aspects of this so we don't become too big that it undermines the core tenets of the project

I am working on the plans for full account migration between Loops servers to help solve this issue long term

Loops is a very promising project, and while its understandable that the flagship server is growing so fast, this is not sustainable and we need to start focusing on the long term.

Stay tuned, I'll share more soon
