Random question: how are you using the ? I have my main account where I post all kinds of things (but I'm a 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 or 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 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.

Hi everyone 🐳

It's time for part 3 of our short series of posts about our plans for the future of . 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.

The path to Funkwhale 2.0: more federation!

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.

None of them is federated though.

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 , redirecting the share that goes to corporations like labels and , directly to artists.

Hello again , I may need your . So, here's a list of the Fediverse software I'm about to make temporary accounts for to test all the features and differences:


















So, did I miss anything noteworthy? Does anyone have any tips or recommendations before I choose a server for any one of these? I'll probably be going for the most popular server on each for improved federation and maintenance.

Note: I'm using right now and Misskey forks are already overrepresented, so that's why it's not included.

Digital music combined with decentralized distribution promises a great future for fans and all but the biggest musicians. and the business model will be required to make it all work.

@beunice @AntennaPod We're already working on this. Both #AntennaPod and #Kasts are involved in openpodcastapi.org together with other projects like #FunkWhale It's still in the process of specification at the moment.

Question for folks on here. Have you uploaded music to streaming services even though you didn't particularly want to? Why? Do you see them as a necessary evil or are you moving away from altogether?

have you played with at all? it's a nice base imo. I wish they'd try to be a decentralized mashup of , and . a place for artists to both get their music promoted on the , post/control their music but also a way to get paid for downloads and streams. let labels run servers or have artists do it themselves, sites that can double as their public website. all while letting fans follow, listen and share on any compatible app.
