Quick reminder that if you manage a #Funkwhale pod and are ok with basic stats to be collected, you can submit your pod domain on https://network.funkwhale.audio/

It's helpful to have an idea of the size of the network, the number of active users, the deployment of new versions, etc.

By doing so, you'll contribute to those dashboards: https://network.funkwhale.audio/dashboards/d/overview/funkwhale-network-overview?orgId=1

You can opt-out at any time, from your pod settings (older stats will be deleted as well if you do).

Thanks!

Dear Community,

We're migrating our forums to a new place, for reasons outlined here: https://socialhub.network/t/migrating-our-forums-to-https-governance-funkwhale-audio/530/2

If you were using https://socialhub.network/c/funkwhale to get in touch with the Funkwhale community, you should now use https://governance.funkwhale.audio/g/kQgxNq15/funkwhale instead :)

Thank you very much for reading and sharing!

Happy Wednesday, Funkwhalers!

We're currently auditing the #Funkwhale documentation and looking for spots that need updating, clarification, etc. to make it easier for people to contribute.

If anyone here would like to help look through https://docs.funkwhale.audio and/or https://contribute.funkwhale.audio and give us some feedback, that would be very appreciated!

- A brand new search page
- It's now possible to launch a scan from the UI
- Themes and language are now persisted accross sessions
- A new plugin system, with a scrobbler plugin that works with Last.fm and MusicBrainz

We're thankful to the contributors to this release, as well as all our supporters, backers and members of the community who have been with us for five years!

We wish you a happy upgrade!

Our forums are now up and running 🎉

With the new plugin system, we'be bundled our first plugin, which allows you to scrobble to Last.fm and other compatible implementations (such as Listenbrainz).

Once the plugin is activated on the server (via the FUNKWHALE_PLUGINS=funkwhale_api.contrib.scrobbler env var), you can visit your user settings, click "Manage plugins" et voilà!

New strings have been pushed to our weblate, meaning everything is ready to be translated too!
