Related thought: are there any Mastodon instances dedicated to music? And if so, do they support audio-only uploads?

(Checking joinmastodon.com, I see instances for *discussing* music, but -- at a glance, anyway -- nothing for people who *create* music.)

@djsundog @woozle I would be interested in this too, though not currently in a position to start my own instance

@woozle @djsundog

I don't know of a mastodon instance for that, but
there's peertube for video uploads, and funkwhale for audio uploads :)

Let me know if you want upload privileges on our funkwhale !

**Woozle Hypertwin** @woozle · May 05, 2018, 00:28

@gled @djsundog So PeerTube only does video?

I hadn't heard of FunkWhale -- I am intrigued!

(Found this: https://funkwhale.audio/)

...and yes, I think I would like upload privs, if only to try it out. ^.^

@woozle @djsundog yes, music.pawoo.net does that. I'm not sure how the audio-only uploads work or federate, I suspect they might be converting to a video after you upload it.

**kepstin⯑** @kepstin@glitch.social · May 04, 2018, 23:46

@woozle @djsundog I was curious so I checked - the music uploads there don't federate the media directly, instead it's just a link - but it has a preview card with an embedded player.

@0x1C3B00DA @djsundog

That's a PeerTube instance -- I don't think it federates with Mastodon, does it?

**0x1C3B00DA** @0x1C3B00DA@edolas.world · May 05, 2018, 00:53

**0x1C3B00DA** @0x1C3B00DA@edolas.world · May 05, 2018, 00:53

@woozle @djsundog
Yea PeerTube instances can federate with mastodon instances. You can follow users there. Videos they post will show up on your timeline and your responses are listed as comments on the video

@0x1C3B00DA @djsundog

This I did not know!

How do you get a user's URL, so as to find them on Mastodon?

**0x1C3B00DA** @0x1C3B00DA@edolas.world · May 05, 2018, 01:04

**0x1C3B00DA** @0x1C3B00DA@edolas.world · May 05, 2018, 01:04

@woozle @djsundog I don't know about the URL, but you can get their handle the same way as on mastodon, username@domain
