Es wurde schon lange im Vorraus angekündigt und nun umgesetzt. Auch zB das Bandcamp ist kein Ersatz für indipendent Bands & Musiker:innen. Dafür gibt es im Fediverse, unterschiedliche @funkwhale Server als Alternativen diesbezüglich. Ich weiss, viele hier kennen & nutzen es.
Für alle, die #Podcasts und das #Fediverse mögen: https://podcastindex.org/ ist eine OpenSource-Aggregationsplattform für Podcasts.
Einfach dort mal die Suche benutzen und nach etwas suchen, das euch interessiert. Hier beispielsweise mal die Treffer für eine Suche nach "Klimakrise": https://podcastindex.org/search?q=Klimakrise&type=all
Wenn ihr nun einen der gefundenen Podcasts öffnet, sieht die URL im Browser so aus (Beispiel): https://podcastindex.org/podcast/6441657
Und nun kommt das Fediverse ins Spiel. Nehmt einfach die Nummer am Ende der URL und baut daraus folgende Fediverse-Adresse (hier mit unserem Beispiel): @6441657
Sucht nach der Adresse in eurer bevorzugten Fediverse-App und ihr solltet dann einen entsprechenden Account finden. Dem könnt ihr folgen, und schon bekommt ihr alle Beiträge dieses Podcasts in eure Timeline.
Und ja, ich weiß dass es #Funkwhale gibt. Das hier ist halt ein etwas anderer Ansatz, der aber mit seiner Fediverse-Integration und seinem großen Umfang an bestehenden Podcasts sehr spannend ist. Es gibt sogar eine Mastodon-Instanz https://podcastindex.social/
Random question: how are you using the #fediverse? I have my main account where I post all kinds of things (but I'm a #ttrpg dm at heart). I have a pixelfed account where I post random b/w pictures. I have another automated account where I post some rss feeds. And my blog is federated as well.
But how are you guys using it?
I for example didn't get into #bookworm or #funkwhale at all, the latter I don't even really get the use for.
People too often talk about “The Fediverse version of X”, or “Add ActivityPub to X” without actually talking about the point of it, or what the functionality would be. It’s discussed like a badge that says “I did Fediverse to it”. I wish people discussed this kind of thing from the feature level first. What is it you want to do? What would federation offer you? Does that even make sense for that product? Just saying “Fediverse version of the Chase credit card app” sounds great, but what would that even mean? Is that something people need, or do you just want more “Fediverse stuff”?
I often get requests for random Federated ideas with Owncast that sound cool, but don’t truly solve a problem people have. Identify a problem, come up with useful functionality, work backwards from there.
the former is what I want #Funkwhale to be but definitely isn't yet. I'm not sure if that's their goal. atm it seems much more focused on being a cloud music service for you and your online friends, not a place for musicians. still appreciate their work.
It's time for part 3 of our short series of posts about our plans for the future of #funkwhale. Last week, we talked a bit about our plans for a new Funkwhale app. A new app and a new API are both great, but let's not forget what sets Funkwhale apart from other media platforms: federation. It's something we really want to start expanding, so let's talk about it for a while.

I second this. However, Funkwhale does not integrate directly a support system as far as I know.
FairCamp is probably the best support tool as you're supporting directly the artist (minus the payment processor fees, I guess?).
On the other hand, not everyone is willing or has the possibility to set it up.
The second best might be https://mirlo.space which is also a "Bandcamp-style" kind of thing. Still somehow acts as a middle-man, but for non-techy users is quite a breeze to use.
It's time for part 2 of our short series of posts about our plans for the future of #funkwhale. Last week, we talked a bit about our plans for a new API. While that's fun for developers and tech enthusiasts, most users are more interested in how Funkwhale as an application is going to improve. Let's talk about that now.
You want the "play any song immediately" experience. Musicians want to go viral, control their work and get paid enough to make it their full time job. We should be able to do this with #Funkwhale, redirecting the share that goes to corporations like labels and #Spotify, directly to artists.
I think we should slightly rethink how login works on most Fediverse apps (Mastodon, Lemmy, but not only)
