Hello there!

I (@eliotberriot) have been working on the redesign of our website (currently https://funkwhale.audio).

I'd like to have your feedback regarding this redesign, especially on the content/copy/accessibility/bugs.

The new version lives at https://next.funkwhale.audio/

You can share the feedback here or on https://governance.funkwhale.audio/d/zVW3YaeF/funkwhale-audio-redesign.

Thank you so much for your help, boosts appreciated!

(don't mind the cat images, some illustrations are coming to replace those ;)

This is just a quick reminder that you can support us financially on Open Collective (even without creating an account!)

Every donation helps!

@funkwhale I'm excited to announce @GinnyMcQueen has accepted to work with us!

She'll work with us to ensure our community and our future organization are as inclusive, diverse and welcoming for everyone as they should be.

Please, give her a warm welcome 🎉

@colegota (I'm sorry, I can only answer you in english ;)

We don't support searching music by Genre yet, but this is planned for a future release :)

We now have a handful of Funkwhale instances with open registrations running on the 0.18 version!

If you want to try out #Funkwhale or recommand it to some friends, you can join:

#Funkwhale 0.18 “Naomi” is out!

And it's huge (check out the changelog if you don't trust me ;)

This release is dedicated to Naomi, an early contributor and beta tester of Funkwhale. Her positivity, love and support have been incredibly helpful and helped shape the project as you can enjoy it today. Thank you so much Naomi <3

Dear #Funkwhale translators,

I just freezed translation strings for the 0.18 and pushed them to our weblate instance. I've also enabled three new languages (Esperanto, Russian and Galician) since those were either completely or almost completely translated.

There are alot of new strings, and you'll have at least a full week (but possibly more, since we're aiming for a release during the month) to translate new content.

Thank you so much for your involvement!

I'd like to redesign https://funkwhale.audio (the project website), and just started a discussion about that at https://socialhub.network/t/redesigning-funkwhale-audio/191

Ever felt frustrated by https://funkwhale.audio? It's time to voice your concerns and ideas!

#design #funkwhale #feedback

Reminder: you are welcome to join us on January to discuss about Funkwhale, what we should do, how, etc.

Details are here: https://socialhub.network/t/funkwhale-sync-2/143 :)

Rappel : vous êtes les bienvenu·es pour vous joindre à nous début janvier pour discuter de Funkwhale et de son avenir.

Tout les détails sont sur https://socialhub.network/t/funkwhale-sync-2/143 :)

Import on https://open.audio over \o/

So, I've imported ~25Gb of music from the Free Music Archive on https://open.audio using this method.

It worked beautifully, and it's now available for the whole #Funkwhale federation. Follow this library from your Funkwhale instance and you'll have access to it:

https://open.audio/federation/music/libraries/ce1fb6d4-fae6-464a-a34a-bdd46209ee82

You can also visit https://open.audio/library/ directly to listen to all this new content! (you don't need an account ;)

@strypey @switchingsocial @musicman

Just to let you know, following our discussion from last week, I'v started writing a small utility to grab the FMA content from archive.org.

I plan to mirror at least a part of the FMA on open.audio using this :)

https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/archiveorg-dl

Just opened two forums topic to discuss important questions:

- How do we invest a funding Funkwhale just received? https://socialhub.network/t/call-for-proposals-we-have-some-money-how-should-we-use-it/136
- What kind of legal entity should we setup around the project? https://socialhub.network/t/a-non-profit-for-funkwhale/137

Having some feedback here would be incredibly useful!

If you're not familiar with forums, we got you covered: https://contribute.funkwhale.audio/guides/join-discussion ;)

Starting today, we'll use our forum at http://socialhub.network/c/funkwhale for for most of the community and project discussions, instead of Gitlab.

We learned that Gitlab (and developper-centric) platform are not a great when it comes to involve everyone.

Take a look at https://socialhub.network/t/rebooting-funkwhales-forum/94 to get context on this decision and join the discussion!

Special thanks to @Troll (for the content) and @prismo for the hosting!

Ok, it's time shape Funkwhale's future, in terms of moderation and anti-abuse tools!

We can and will reuse tools from existing projects, but there are also things we'll have to work out ourselves.

If you want to be a part of that, the whole discussion will take place here: https://code.eliotberriot.com/funkwhale/funkwhale/issues/580
(you can answer this post as well but please read the issue before!)

Take the time you need to read / contribute. the issue will remain for at least a few weeks before any implementation happens.

@funkwhale

That's official now, #Funkwhale 0.17 is out, learn everything about this new release on https://blog.funkwhale.audio/~/Announcements/funkwhale-0.17-is-out/

Have a happy upgrade, and many, many, many thanks to all the people involved in the release!

Hey there!

#Funkwhale has always missed a dedicated place for the community to discuss. Of course, we have our matrix rooms, but it's not well suited for structured conversations between multiple people.

Thanks to @prismo, we now have a dedicated forum at https://socialhub.network/c/projects/funkwhale!

Socialhub.network also hosts other projects such as PixelFed or Anfora, it will make it easier for everyone to get involve and to collaborate and fediverse projects :)

Have fun!

@funkwhale I'm pleased to announce that #Funkwhale 0.17 is feature-complete and stable enough to enter the testing phase.

If you want help with that, and use the project or own an instance, have a look at the article from the previous toot (https://blog.funkwhale.audio/~/Announcements/funkwhale-0.17-is-almost-ready/) to get started!

Happy testing!

Hi there! There is a brand new #Funkwhale blog you can follow from the fediverse, have a look at https://mastodon.eliotberriot.com/@eliotberriot/100664209364502602 for the details ;)

We'll use th blog to publish more in-depth articles and announcements, but we'll still use that account for everything else!

Pipeline is green, review is over, code is clean, documentation is written: the next release will include LDAP support, meaning you will be able to connect your Funkwhale instance to a LDAP directory for authentication purposes, removing the need for users to create yet another account.

Kudos to @joshuaboniface for the hard work on this (and for the first contribution)!
