  1. I continue to play guitar and sax as much as I can. Recording these days is less pleasurable, because it's so easy to do, and then there's you-know-what technology to make it even easier.

    I haven't been paying enough attention to what folks are doing, creating federated sites like #faircamp and #bandwagon and the sales sites mirlo, jam coop, ampwall, etc. Great efforts!

    What I really want is to play live. I have several old videos of that and maybe they'll appear on @TIBtv ?

    je viens d'écouter la démo, j'aime bien ;-)

    et je découvre du même coup #bandwagon qui de loin semble une alternative à #bandcamp ;-)

  4. Hey #Wagoneers does this look right to you? bsky.app/profile/bandwagon.ban

    Thanks to the rockstars at Bridgy Fed, #Bandwagon is live on Bluesky, which means everything you post reaches ~10 million Fedizens, and andother ~45 million people in the "ATmosphere", too.

    It's 100% opt-in, so if BlueSky isn't your thing, nothing changes. But if you DO.. just check the toggle here bandwagon.fm/@me/settings/visi

    Yeah, that's all you have to do. Rock on 🤘🏻

  8. Thoughts so far-

    Bandwagon - Federated. Cool. Open source. Cool. Easy to setup payments. Quick fedistribution (??) with indie beat. Track-by-track upload is a pain, but other than that its great.

    Mirlo - Federated. Cool. Open source. Cool. Easy to upload files in batch and not much work to fill out track data. Feature wise has the most potential I think.

    Subvert - Not federated. Not open source. Site works well but I still feel weird about it.

    #bandcamp #mirlo #bandwagon #subvertfm

  9. Uploading music to Bandwagon.fm results in embedded tracks as posts that can be played on Mastodon. Is there something similar for Mirlo? Pasting the track URLs in my search bar found nothing

    #mirlo #bandwagon

  10. I am getting a weird "Unable to load/creating new Identity" when trying to link my Mastodon account to Bandwagon. Anyone know what's up with that?

  11. Wagoneers, welcome to the future.

    Yesterday, I released a huge update to #Bandwagon that includes new support for direct messages. This is the #E2EE messenger, though encryption is not activated on the Bandwagon.fm server.

    So please go and kick the tires. I'll be babysitting the servers and fixing any problems in real time. If there's something you need, you can now send me a real DM at @bandwagon

  13. Yes, please do give your #Bandwagon account another look. It’s the only server that makes your band page a first-class member of the Fediverse… though Mirlo is on it, and should be here soon, too.

    I haven’t written the release announcement yet, but we just posted an irresponsibly large update to the production server cluster.

    Check your profiles and stay tuned for all the details tomorrow 🤘🏻

  15. A reef isn't a single organism. Things settle where conditions suit them, and the substrate they share is what makes them a reef and not a scattering of unrelated lifeforms.

    ActivityPub is that substrate. The Fediverse Beyond Mastodon series is complete. We published four posts about some of what's growing on it:

    1. The microblogging platforms that aren't Mastodon: Misskey, Pleroma, Akkoma, Friendica, GoToSocial. Several predate Mastodon, and some were federating before ActivityPub existed.

    2. The visual layer: Pixelfed, Loops, PeerTube. Your work sits on infrastructure you or your community control, and no ranking system decides who sees it.

    3. The writing platforms: Ghost, WordPress, WriteFreely, Micro.blog, Plume, Flipboard. Each arrived at federation by a different route.

    4. Forums, books, and music: Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, NodeBB, Bookwyrm, Bandwagon.

  17. The closing post in the "Fediverse Beyond Mastodon" maps forums, social reading, and music, the formats that don't fit the microblog.

    The Threadiverse (Fediverse's answer to Reddit): Lemmy, Kbin/Mbin and PieFed (created by Rimu - @rimu).

    Forums that predate federation: NodeBB (created by @julian) rewrote its core so every new forum federates by default.
    Discourse (@Discourse) ships it as an opt-in, per-category plugin.
    Both were built years ago to replace phpBB and vBulletin, and both now speak ActivityPub.

    Social reading: BookWyrm (created by @tripofmice), a federated Goodreads where your shelves and reviews show up in a Mastodon timeline.

    Music: Funkwhale (@funkwhale) - a self-hosted Grooveshark successor.

    Bandwagon (created by @benpate) an online music storefront where musicians sell directly, built on the Emissary framework.

  19. @delanthear Thank you! I was just typing the names that immediately popped into my head, but I knew I was missing a few. Also curious about #Bandwagon !

  21. hmm #Bandwagon seems to be broken, cant upload a new release (pressing "save changes" loads for a moment and then nothing happens)

  22. There we go: List updated with new platforms (#Bandcamp alternatives). I recommend #Mirlo, #Ampwall, #JamCoop and #Subvert as they are the most maintained ones and already had an headstart on most other music marketplaces. #Bandwagon as well but I don't know if it's still being maintained.
