Ciao Sandro, I tried, but the experience was not great, sadly. However, it was maybe a year ago and things might have changed.
The problem was mainly the confusing UI and navigation in general. If I remember correctly, there was no clear hierarchy like artist > album > song. But on the other hand, I think it wasn't meant to be for bands, rather for podcasts.
Furthermore, there wasn't any "store-like" option, so it wouldn't be an exact alternative to Bandcamp. The "only" great thing was the fact that it federates.
Eventually, I discovered the followings, which are more Bandcamp-like:
As I mentioned above, it was roughly a year ago, so maybe it improved, and I was new to the Fediverse as well, so I just didn't get it. I might give it another try soon, thanks for the reminder! 😆
@LucaManciniDrummer ah thank you. I've also had troubles with the UI. Will check fair and out, does it have any ActivityPin support ? Is there any public open instance to join ? Share a link to your music, btw 🙂
