Nice. Maybe I'll post some of my stuff there so I can have a third place where nobody listens to my music lmao.
What kind of music do you make?
I guess stoner metal (but also occasionally folk metal-ish), but the biggest influences on what I write are the Sword, Mastodon, Sleep, and Black Sabbath. But also sometimes I might make drum n bass or a trap beat, but I don't usually upload those lol
I was just scrolling by with no skin in this game but I love the Sword and Sabbath so you sir hooked my interest.
Right on, I've found my people haha. I have some of my music on youtube (same name as here). I have more on SoundCloud (also same name as here), but those are generally first pass mixes and don't sound as good imo. Check it out if you get a chance, I'd love to get some fresh ears on it.
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 GrooveShark
Wow Grooveshark. What a flashback.
I got KeePass before I got Grooveshark. I still have my account info!
Man 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?
I think the opposite. Most of the instances are closed/invite only, so there's no way to know if there's any improperly licensed music there. π€·ββοΈ
Ah thatβs funny, kind of like private trackers
That's a name I haven't heard in forever! They built so much hype around Grooveshark and I dont remember it ever even working.
