Is it possible to listen to music hosted on Funkwhale from Mastoson (or any other fediverse social media for that matter)? I can see user accounts (though empty), but I couldn’t get albums or songs working.

I’m on both and intend to find out. I suspect that is not possible though. You can follow your Funkwhale account from Mastodon, yet you can’t lookup and follow any mastodon accounts.

They are close to releasing a version 2.0 that was afaik largely rewritten.

Just tested it out. Can’t even see any media that I added to my funkwhale account, or listened to. This applies to music and a podcast. I hope the refactor of Funkwhale ships with a strong emphasis on federation with more ActivityPub services.

I got similar results. However, fediverse servers pull data from other servers only after someone subscribes to profiles on them. I’m setting my own Funkwhale instance and when it’s up, I’ll try subscribing from Mastodon and then uploading something

They are on an advanced release candidate for v2.0 so it should be soon: https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/-/tags

Ah bummer. The good news is that I just checked how the dev team for funkwhale is moving along with the refactor at a decent pace. Right now it’s in a Release Candidate phase. A nice summary of where things are at so you don’t have to dig through the weeds: https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/-/milestones
