Funkwhale @funkwhale@mastodon.eliotberriot.com

Someone has just written this nice blog post in german, about the channels feature that is part of the april release!

https://blogs.rpi-virtuell.de/digital/2020/04/02/funkwhale-praktischer-audiodateien-verbreiter/

It came to our attention recently that the account @\funkwhale@mastodon.uno was spreading misinformation about the project, and our funding in particular. They've also published hostile posts concerning some members of our collective.

This happens after we reached out to them multiple times in february to ask them to respect the guidelines we put in place for reusing our assets (https://funkwhale.audio/en_US/logos), and after they setup multiple social media pages by simply copy-pasting content from our website, which could be seen as a way to impersonate us, or at least to create confusion.

As a result, we have decided to block them, as well as the Funkwhale pod funkwhale.it they manage, from all our spaces and the pods we host.

Funkwhale.it is not affiliated with our project or collective, in any way.

@tykayn @e_jambon si le but c'est de faire du live, Funkwhale ne le permet pas pour l'instant (Icecast sera plus adapté probablement), par contre si l'objectif c'est de publier de l'audio pour qu'il soit écouté après coup, Funkwhale peut fonctionner oui :)

@gllmhyt illimité non, mais tu peux lui mettre un quota très élevé, par exemple 9999999 MB

@neunburg_evangelisch are you looking for a place to publish your work, uploading your private library, or just listen to stuff?

@Lightnin (btw this is the ticket on our side: https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/-/issues/1060)

@Lightnin I'll have a look at that!

@Lightnin right now there isn't.

Having people hearing exactly the same thing you do as the same time (e.g live streaming) isn't easily doable.

However, we could fairly easily have a new radio that would play tracks listened by a given user.

It would work like this:

1. The person is logged in and start the radio from your profile
2. The most recent track you listened to is added to the queue
3. In the meantime you start streaming another track
4. This track will be appended to the user queue once the previous one over

It wouldn't be *synchronous* per se, but it would be rather close to it. Is it something that would work for you?

@Lightnin well partially.

For instance, if your user profile is configured to share your activity publicly, then what your listen will be listed on it (e.g https://funkwhale.eliotberriot.com/@eliotberriot/activity)

However, it doesn't necessarily mean that people will be able to listen to the content directly. It depends if the content you are streaming is available in a public library or channel.

If it isn't, people will see the activity, but won't be able to play the corresponding tracks.

So, looks like #Funkwhale channels and podcasts will be compatible with #Friendica!

You can expect this to work when their 2019-03 release is out!

@thomaspiette génial, merci pour tes retours !
