Back in the day I used to really like browsing soundcloud, listening to mashups, indie artists, and whatnot. Eventually soundcloud got too big and took down a lot of content (probably due to copyright) and introduced paid “pro” accounts. Is there a place like the early soundcloud on the fediverse?
Yes, it’s called Funkwhale
Nice. Maybe I’ll post some of my stuff there so I can have a third place where nobody listens to my music lmao.
Funkwhale is interesting, but feels more like a plex/subsonic/jellyfin server than a social media place. I can’t follow artists on Funkwhale and listen to their latest posts. There isn’t a “feed” anywhere, it’s more like a giant shared-music server (unless I’m missing something).
Yah it’s more like grooveshark years and years ago.
there is FunkWhale
not sure how it compares to SoundCloud, but it is certainly some sort of successor to GrooveSharkMan I miss Grooveshark. Used to be awesome! Forgot what happened to it?
It got taken down because there was so much licensed music uploaded to it, I believe
Well that was the whole purpose. What makes this Funkywhale any different?
Federation, probably harder for music labels to go after so many instances?
