Anyone know of a fedi or at least free-ish alternative to SoundCloud? I like posting my stuff for archival and for whatever folks might enjoy listening to my brand of self indulgent improv, but I just have no desire to engage with that site anymore. What are the cool Indieweb kids using these days?
Are you thinking of self hosting, or signing up for a music service of some kind?
For self hosting there's #funkwhale, which has fediverse integration built in. I tried it myself and it didn't quite fit for me though.
A lot of musicians on here really like self hosting with #faircamp (and I use it myself and think it's great) but faircamp doesn't have activitypub, so there's no fediverse integration.
In case you weren't aware, I've been working with the #funkwhale project for over 5 years at this point. I first installed the software back in 2018 and started helping out people who wanted to install it, then I got involved with writing frontend code and documentation. It's no exaggeration to say I owe my entire career to the work I've done on the project. I wrote about this a bit in my blog a while back.
Wer es noch nicht kennt: Ein kleiner Ausschnitt aus dem großartigen #Fediverse! Gerne mit Menschen teilen, die hier noch neu sind. Dazu passt auch der Beitrag »Das Fediverse: Social Media losgelöst von den Fesseln kommerzieller Interessen«. 👇
Hallo Fediverse! Bitte um Rückmeldung + Ergänzungen: Übersichts-Tabelle mit Fediverse-Diensten, Vergleichsdiensten und Funktionen
Ich schreibe einen Artikel über den #FediverseFachtag und in dem Rahmen natürlich auch über das #Fediverse . Zielgruppe sind Leute, die wahrscheinlich zum Großteil noch gar nix vom Fediverse gehört haben.
Dazu bin ich dabei, eine Tabelle zu erstellen, in der einige Fedi-Dienste sowie deren Haupt-/ besondere Funktionen aufgeführt werden sollen.
Das ist der derzeitige Entwurf:
"ähnlich wie..."
Ein Vergleich mit kommerziellen Plattformen ist natürlich immer nur zum Teil passend. Ich kenne auch keinen der kommerziellen Dienste aus eigener Erfahrung, aber für die avisierte Zielgruppe kann so ein Vergleich vielleicht trotzdem eine hilfreiche Orientierung sein. Vielleicht gibt es da aber auch Vergleiche, die passender sind. Einige Dienste (bspw. Medium, Podigee) kannte ich auch noch nicht mal vom Namen her, sondern habe das nur aus ähnlichen Vergleichstabellen übernommen.
Zu den "besonderen Funktionen":
Insbesondere Friendica, Firefish und v.a. Hubzilla haben so viele Funktionen, dass diese im Rahmen der Tabelle nur exemplarisch aufgeführt werden können und die Auswahl ist subjektiv. Hier wäre die Frage, ob das eine passende Auswahl ist, ob besonders wichtige fehlen oder ob andere Funktionen wichtiger oder besonderer sind.
Wenn Ihr also Anregungen oder Ergänzungen habt, gerne her damit! Danke!
Die #Podcast-Folge, in der sich so richtig tief in das Thema #Fediverse eingenerdet wird.
In Folge 68 von #FocusOnLinux wagen sich @stdevel, @w4tsn und ich auf eine Reise in die Tiefen des #Fediversum|s. Wir besprechen u.a. verschiedene Dienste, technische und soziale Besonderheiten und unsere eigenen Erfahrungen.
This noob is testing the interconnectivity of the #Fediverse:
The word out there on the Fediverse make it seem as if all the different tools (Mastdn/P-tube/Lemmy/etc.) can interact with one another. But this is not the case, as some work both ways, whilst others only one way, or at all.
I'm looking into #ActivityPub platforms to share music on, and it seems like only #Funkwhale does that. But to be honest it does seem a little confusing to new users for me. I wonder if anyone's using #Peertube for audio files/music and what's their experience. Its youtube-like interface seems far more familiar to me, and I still mostly listen to music on youtube tbh (never made a spotify account). Any thoughts/suggestions welcome, thanks.
Su funkwhale ora gira l'ultima versione 1.4, ne abbiamo approfittato per risolvere alcuni problemi che rendevano instabile l'istanza.
Attualmente stiamo gestendo ben 90GB di file audio e #podcast!
E' una quantità enorme di materiale che viene reso disponibile gratuitamente nel #fediverso grazie ai @devol.
Questo causava un altissimo carico al server che ora dovremmo aver mitigato
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.
Connaissez-vous des chaînes éducatives, de dessins-animés, de documentaires animaliers, de chansons pour des enfants de moins de 6 ans sur #peertube ou sur #funkwhale ?
Merci d'avance aux personnes qui repartagerons ma question pour lui permettre de collecter davantage de réponses. :)
#Funkwhale è un'istanza audio completamente gratuita della comunità di #MastodonUno ed è accessibile a tutti, chiunque può iscriversi e caricare le proprie opere.
Per i podcast consigliamo però https://castopod.it.
Since I just moved here and I think I never introduced myself, its probably time for an #introduction:
Hi, I am Georg. I am currently living in #Leipzig, #Germany. I spent most of my time working on #Funkwhale and related open source projects. I am also spending quite some time #gardening and enjoying or making #music. I am living in a hetero-normative family with two kids, which hides my light queerness (still trying to figure it out...).
@smallcircles@MrLee@verge
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.

I think we should slightly rethink how login works on most Fediverse apps (Mastodon, Lemmy, but not only)
