      As a fellow Bandcamp enjoyer I am quite sad about its enshittification. Someone made Faircamp as an alternative. I hope that Funkwhale will fill the soundcloud/bandcamp niche.

        Install some software on your server […]

        I’m afraid that this is a big no-go for most artists, which just want to make music and don’t want to be server administrators.

          This is why you can have local or label instance. People have email and website without being server administrators.

        One important thing the centralized sites like Bandcamp enable, is discovery of new music and artists. I’m afraid that this is such a big deal that Faircamp won’t be able to take off until that problem is addressed and solved somehow.

      I know, but so far, it’s still the best way to give money to the creators. It’s basically 9:1 in favor of the artists when you buy an album… Hopefully a fair alternative will come up in a near future. Funkwhale is slowly getting better . Anyway, anything is better than Spotify.

      Damn it. And I had JUST made another comment elsewhere in favor of Bandcamp.
