How do you actually sign up? I tried and it said it will send me an email and that's it.
It might take a little while for the email to show up. When I signed up, it was a couple of hours, but it was under a good bit of stress at the time.
Things are going smoothly this morning. Uploads are quick to process, and the timeline seems to be moving along with new content. So YMMV

It’s really unfortunate timing that loops doesn’t have both an android and iPhone app already out on the app stores. I use the iPhone app thru the beta on test flight. They should just release it to catch this wave?
I feel like in it's current form it's more likely to lose lifetime fans than catch them. I would be genuinely surprised if nothing happened to make the experience on rednote worse, and from what I've heard it would be also a valid target of the existing law, so just as easy to shut down.
Also doesn't loops currently just have a fire hose feed of all videos uploaded in chronological order? Seems like it's lacking core features that would make it stick for folks.

I would like Loops to get an influx of users, but this would be too many in one go while loops is not in a sustainable position to support them. The unfortunate truth is that Loops can't handle that level of usership yet

People really are that dumb. We really deserve everything we have.
the real reason why the government tries to ban apps is because it gives an unfiltered look at people the government has tried to demonize for years
LOL, the irony is that red note is censoring posts from those "tiktok refugee".
It is such a western privilege to think that they can avoid unnecessary censorship and big tech monopoly by moving to Chinese platforms. When Chinese knows full well that they don't have such choice.
To further the irony, the west actually have abundant options to avoid censorship and big tech. Yet people think they are "less usable" than google translating (big tech monopoly btw) your way into a censoring Chinese big tech monopoly...
