What with the no-doubt immanent enshittification of #bandcamp I'd like to direct people's attention to projects like #Faircamp by @freebliss and #Funkwhale@funkwhale. While not a drop-in replacements for BC as of yet, I think these are an excellent starting points for an #ethical, #decentralised & healthy #music community.
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.
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.
#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.
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.
My ideal #decentralised#Bandcamp alternative would be something like a combination of (I) #Faircamp as a frontend, (II) #Funkwhale as an #Activitypub audio file sharing & profile-following for the backend, and (III) something like #Liberapay or #Comradery to buy albums & financially support musicians.
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.
#Fediverse growing pains: The smallish #PeerTube and #Funkwhale instances I use have gotten big enough that handling all of the data is starting to cause issues, slowdowns and whatnot. The reality of distributed/federated computing coming home to roost?
Another home lab install - I decided to give Plex another try for managing my music, and after installing Plexamp, I can't say I hate it. Works well on phone, ipad, and even CarPlay.
Still going to give Navidrome a try. Looked at Funkwhale but I'm not quite there yet.
This week I boosted posts from #GoToSocial and #Akkoma instances and followed someone on a #Funkwhale instance all from my #Mastodon instance, as if they were all Mastodon posts and accounts.
I think we should slightly rethink how login works on most Fediverse apps (Mastodon, Lemmy, but not only)
