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?

      Nice. Maybe I’ll post some of my stuff there so I can have a third place where nobody listens to my music lmao.

          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
