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.
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.
Hello again #Fediverse, I may need your #fedihelp. 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 #Sharkey right now and Misskey forks are already overrepresented, so that's why it's not included.
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.
what I'd love to see is #funkwhale also support basic posts ala #mastodon. I bet we could get a pretty cool pod going at ccmusic.social if this was the case. #ccmusic
#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%
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.
So I've come around to #faircamp and find it a good thing to have around even if I remain on #bandcamp, as I shall for some time to come.
And my #funkwhale will still be available for as long as I can maintain it.
I'll slowly upload releases to https://faircamp.thurk.org ... If anyone notices any strangeness, please let me know. I'll possibly style it a bit differently in the future.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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«. 👇
