Looking for interested developers to review an #RSS approach to handle music metadata for better #interoperability. Details can be found here https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/-/issues/2428.
#FairMusE, an EU-financed research project into fairness in streaming, has released its findings.
With the goal of answering: What music is rec’d by the big algorithms: Who is rec’d what, and why? Do all artists and labels get a fair chance?
Slightly hampered by services not releasing data on artist remuneration... but nonetheless some very interesting outcomes, in graphic form: https://dashboard.fairmuse.eu/
We closed registrations to our gitlab because we have a lot of bots registering. We will open then again when we found a reliable solution. In the meantime feel free to reach out on matrix if you want to open an account
Funkwhale 2 comes with User follow feature. A question arise, when I accept a follow request, do I want to share my music uploads automatically with my followers or not ? If not sharing uploads will only be possible though playlist sharing (until we implement sharing links). We could also create a new setting : `Share my uploads with my followers` defaulting to true ?
what do you think ?
Mohammad Amanullah implemented Funkwhale and Navidrome support for BrainzPlayer (ListenBrainz' in-site player):

Want to support the Funkwhale 2 stable release and the March to #Gaza movement at the same time?
Just make a donation to Funkwhale during the month of June!
Our volunteer developers will dedicate time to the release based on the amount donated. But instead of keeping the money, all funds will be redirected to support the people participating in the March to Gaza.
Free the music. Free Palestine.
