If you're looking to share music, podcasts or other audio on the Fediverse, you might want to sign up on a FunkWhale server.
Funkwhale is a free open source audio platform featuring channels that can be followed from Mastodon etc. You can sign up on servers or start your own.
#funkwhale 1.4.0 is on the way! We have some translations that are nearly complete, but we need some help getting them over the finish line.
If you have the time and are a speaker of Occitan, Dutch, Chinese (Simplified), Italian, Polish, Basque, Japanese, or Portuguese (Brazil), we'd really appreciate your help getting our translation strings to 100%
:fedi: Since I don't do enough here yet ( 😉 ) I'm now part of the communications team of :funkwhale: @funkwhale!
For those who don't know: #Funkwhale is part of the Fediverse and an awesome platform for sharing :cc_cc: freely licensed music and other audio.
I once hosted a Funkwhale instance for climate justice podcasts and stuff, but shortly after the :fff: FridaysForFuture podcast I was publishing there stopped making new episodes and since nobody else seemed to be interested in publishing on my instance I canceled it.
Some of the episodes of the fff podcast are still on open.audio: https://open.audio/channels/FutureOnAir/ (it's in German).
WOOOW. You guys. LOOK. What a sign. The #music signs are SIGNING.
I step out of emergency dental surgery (a toot for another day), and jump back into learning more about #icecast and #funkwhale. I immediately receive notification from nameless site, which alerts me to my friend leaving this very crucial comment on another friends post regarding #SpotifyWrapped and their underpayment of #musicians:
HOLD TIGHT YOU GUYS. I’M BRINGING THE LA UNDERGROUND LEGENDS.
#Threads is an app trying to play nice with the Fediverse while attempting to keep all of its corporate shenanigans intact, and keep full control out of the people's hands. Typical.
There's this other place, actually many other places. It's called the #Fediverse where you are not funneled into corporate algorithms and have full control of what you want to see.
Oggi lanciamo ufficialmente STEREO, un'istanza #funkwhale per l'underground italiano (e non solo).
Ho preparato delle slide per comunicarlo su Instagram, ma le pubblico anche qui perché il messaggio è quello.
STEREO è nostro. È appena nato ma abbiamo una marea di dischi da caricare, proposti da amicǝ, alleatǝ e in generale gente che si è stufata di regalare bellezza a Spotify.
I’m probably the last person to hear about it but I just stumbled on #Funkwhale in my search for a #Spotify alternative.
It’s #foss, #decentralised, and #federated! You can share #music by joinings pods or starting your own. Now I’ve only just discovered it but this feels like a much more #community driven listening experience than what we’re use to these days. Kind of like sharing your walkman earphones at recess with friends.
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.
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.
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/
Ückück und das Fediverse - meine neue Kolumne bei @gnulinux
Ein neues Projekt steht an und ich freue mich sehr. Ab diesem Monat werde ich regelmäßig für GNU/Linux.ch über das Fediverse schreiben, mal spezielle Projekte vorstellen, mal von Veranstaltungen berichten, mal einen Blick auf die Meta-Ebene vagen - es gibt jedenfalls genug zu berichten, dass ich eine Weile beschäftigt bin :D
