    Been looking at it a little more over the past month or two.

    There’s a lot of interesting music out there and nice to be able to wander around people’s music collections.

    I’m not sure on how one should navigate Funkwhale land. I have an account on a pod but don’t know how I’m supposed to follow or interact with other pods I have bookmarked, it seems to only mention channels which are a bit useless.

    Perhaps I have just misunderstood Funkwhale but it seems like it could be an amazing federated community for music. As it is I think I need an account for each pod or to just use listen not logged in. It seems more like a replacement for jellyfin/navidrome and the like with some fediverse functionality as opposed to a world on federated instances sharing and collaborating.

      Found a forum post that explains how to add and follow other libraries, which is nice. The libraries I’d been trying to follow don’t seem to have public share links displayed, the ones in the example work.

      Appreciating the sharing side of FunkWhale. There’s a lot of potential and some good sounding pods out there. It has the basics. It works as a personal or social music pod, pods can interact, subsonic & maybe other activity pub stuff too. Most importantly it has content, lots of it.

      Currently listening to another pod directly from my home pod for the first time, which is nice.
