Loops in its current state would wreak havoc on Mastodon and other fediverse platforms that cache remote media

This is why it doesn't federate yet, and isn't fully open source.

Loops is serving TBs of video per day, and we don't even federate yet.

Which is why I'm working on a solution to minimize bandwidth, and leveraging the upcoming FediCDN initiative.

We're going to get this right, and without other fediverse servers having to pay for this expensive video federation!

Stay tuned.

@dansup where can I find out more about FediCDN? There doesn't seem to be much obviously online, and it might well be relevant for @manyfold as well...

@Floppy @dansup @manyfold this is something I've mostly got on paper and starting to have conversations about.

Feel free to ping me

@shlee definitely interested in keep abreast of what you're thinking about; federating a lot of heaving content is definitely something @manyfold will be doing.

@Floppy @manyfold Cool.. how about content are you talking?

images? videos? files?

@shlee it’s on my list, it’d be great to have that work!
