Only just found out about Funkwhale the Fediverse enabled audio hosting platform @funkwhale - looks like a great way to host some audio archives I have from my time on community radio.

Had a look at https://funkwhale.fediverse.observer/list and couldn't find an Australian instance, would @PostersUnionAU be interested in hosting or giving me some sort of resourcing to host?

#fediverse

Fediverse Observer checks all sites in the fediverse and gives you an easy way to find a home from a map or list or automatically.

Funkwhale Sites Status. Find a Funkwhale server to sign up for, find one close to you!

AFAIK @funkwhale is designed for hosting songs and albums. CastoPod is another option to consider for your radio archives;

Can anyone help Ben with hosting for an Ozzie fediverse audio server? Prodigi.nz?

@morebento @funkwhale so, I鈥檓 keen to investigate this now. Give me a few days and buzz @shlee
@morebento Ok, I will remind you on Monday Jul 7, 2025 at 10:51 AM UTC.

@PostersUnionAU @morebento @shlee

I would recommend waiting for v2 or install the alpha candidate since migration might be tricky

@funkwhale @PostersUnionAU @shlee what timeline are you estimating?
@morebento @PostersUnionAU @shlee too much, we discovered several bugs and we are in the middle of the summer... We need t ofix all this :
