Funkwhale
A federated audio platform where communities host their own music.

Screenshot from funkwhale.audio, taken 2026-10-23, shown to help you recognise the tool. It belongs to its maker. Ask us to remove it.
Funkwhale lets people and groups run servers for music, podcasts and radio, and lets servers talk to each other so you can follow and share across them.
It has a small community, and its catalogue is thin, so Delivery is a 2. We have not checked how active it is today.
- Servers run by communities that connect to each other
