In that regard <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/Bandwagon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bandwagon</a> is more like <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/Bandcamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bandcamp</a>, I feel.

Kristoffer LawsonThis is the kind of innovation that <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActivityPub</a> and the <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> allows. I just learnt about <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/Bandwagon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bandwagon</a> (through a post by <a href="https://atomicpoet.org/users/atomicpoet" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@atomicpoet</a>) which is a <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#music</a> artist site (not unlike <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/Bandcamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bandcamp</a>). Artists and their posts can be followed just like anyone on the Fediverse.It's a little rudimentary at the moment (both in style and functionality), and I don't think there is a way to purchase albums for download, but it is a nice example of what is possible.(Cc <a href="https://bandwagon.fm/@howdy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@howdy</a>)<a href="https://bandwagon.fm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bandwagon.fm</a>

Jupiter Rowland@<a href="https://mastodon.social/@benpate" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ben Pate 🤘🏻</a> Not everyone will want to offer their music on Bandwagon for money. Some may want to give it away for free for various reasons (non-commercial license, German hobbyist artists not wanting to hassle with the German tax system and GEMA etc.), and Funkwhale may not be a viable option for them. At the same time, they may not want to or even be able to pay the same prices for anything beyond basic functionality as musicians or bands who intend to actually make money with their music. Some features should remain free for music that's offered for free. For example, it shouldn't be lossless downloads that a musician or a band has to pay for as a feature, but charging money for lossless downloads. Having everyone pay for e.g. offering FLAC downloads favours commercial artists, and the anti-capitalist parts of the Fediverse will criticise you for that. Alternatively, you could make the license choosable from a pull-down list per song or per album or for an entire account. And when a commercial license (or any license that isn't decidedly non-commercial) is selected, certain features are greyed-out or removed unless they're paid for. At the same time, when a non-commercial license is selected, the UI elements for charging money are greyed out or removed. Also, if you ever plan to open-source and decentralise Bandwagon, you can't expect all instances to charge the same for the same. Even if you hard-code in what must be paid for, the moment Bandwagon is open-source, there will be at least one fork where certain or all payments are not hard-coded anymore. Not only will some musicians or bands prefer that fork for their own instances, but it's even likely that public instances of such a fork will be launched. At that point, your pricing calculation will become moot. #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Long" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Long</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=LongPost" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LongPost</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=CWLong" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CWLong</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=CWLongPost" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CWLongPost</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=FediMeta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FediMeta</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=FediverseMeta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FediverseMeta</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=CWFediMeta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CWFediMeta</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=CWFediverseMeta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CWFediverseMeta</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Bandwagon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bandwagon</a>

MizKirstenIf you've uploaded music to Bandwagon in the last couple of weeks and have been waiting for it to show up on The Indie Beat, thank you for your patience!Things at TIBR got a little backlogged.
