Requires registration. Also, are there no other instances of it? Also also, what protocol does it use?
It uses activitypub, the same as Pixelfed. It is the same creator afterall. AFAIK, it is not yet federated. It ask for registration because it is pretty much in open beta right now. No other fediverse alternatives for Tiktok except that.
Edit: more about them on the FAQ.
Loops is still in beta, so there’s no other instances yet, but it’s gonna use ActivityPub like everyone else does so it can federate with Pixelfed (and probs mastodon). Also, like 90% of Fediverse instances require registration, usually to prevent spam and other crazy shit (CSAM, literal gore, etc.) from being posted. Just gonna have to wait a bit.
I don’t get why loops requires registration. It feels like an instagram pattern and I really dislike it.
How does loops even work? I thought i can for example follow 3d printing but i can only follow user. Thats useless to me.
Not fully bc Loops does not quite federate yet. Check out !loops@midwest.social and as the note says, best viewed from a Tesseract UI, like in your case https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/loops@midwest.social .
But mostly people are waiting on Loops to catch up on its development to do more with it.
Edit: To clarify, you can view all of these without registration. Here is an example post of a Loops video: https://piefed.social/post/342104 and here is a Tesseract powered version on your instance https://t.lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/lemmy.dbzer0.com/31948457 .

I am waiting for the basic feature of searching videos with keywords
Yes, this is Loops: “Loops is a short video sharing platform.”.
However, if I am correctly informed, the planned federation with the Fediverse has still not been realised.
Why " with no required registration"? Where can you simply share videos without any account?

In addition to Loops, there was also Vidzy and Goldfish, but I don’t think they still exist?
