fediverse

<p>I saw the cover of the current <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@linuxmagazine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>linuxmagazine</span></a></span> “Streaming in the Fediverse”, and I’m a bit disappointed at the actual coverage of <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> music services and the community of musicians - it is primarily a feature on *Navidrome* (which is great, but not federated) with a mention of Funkwhale. It could have covered Bandwagon, Mirlo, The Indie Beat Radio &amp; TV, PeerTube and more. I’d be happy to submit a piece on this at some point if the editors are interested…!</p>
