A question for all of you on the #Fediverse (and especially #Musicians, #Writers, and #Artists) who sell your work online: Do you know how you receive payments right now? I want to connect the most fedi-friendly platforms into #Bandwagon, #Emissary, and beyond.. so I'd love to hear what works best for you :)

It's so awesome that Bandwagon is getting attention alongside the tech world. Here's one from https://thenewstack.io/bringing-joy-back-to-the-web-fediverse-vs-centralized-apps/ "My personal favorite at FediForum was Bandwagon, an app for musicians to share their work and get paid using Stripe or other payment providers." 😍 😍 😍 😍 This wouldn't happen without the Fediverse. The network effect is already strong, and it's growing daily.

Awesome #Bandwagon news: I've just pushed a number of cool updates to bandwagon.fm - including newly revamped profile pages that are smarter, more streamlined, and easier to manage. The new profiles highlight your albums, concerts, and news posts separately, showing each in its own customized layout. If you're already a Wagoneer, then sign in to see the results of the spring cleaning. And if you're a musician and you're not on Bandwagon yet, well…. you know what to do :)

More #Bandwagon news to share: I'm really proud of the progress we've made this month. Today, on Bandwagon.fm, you can now FOLLOW SEARCH RESULTS in your inbox. What? Yes, really. Here's how it works: 1. Search for albums or tracks using tags and keywords 2. Click "Follow” then enter your fediverse handle 3. Bump over to your home server to authorize the follow 4. Receive new album releases in your Fediverse timeline. More info on this here:

Bandwagon.fm - March 2025

Check this out.. @npub1ynzf...en3h is killing it right now, and working hard to do the important (but un-shiny) work of making a site for #Musicians that anyone can host **inexpensively** This is the endgame for the #Fediverse - thousands of indie sites, not mega instances - but it’ll take this kind of work to pull it off. Good job, guys. I’m super jealous of you rn.

Hey #Fediverse #Musicians - I'm once again trying to figure out premium pricing for #Bandwagon I've committed to hosting profiles 100% free forever, but I still believe there should be some paid "premium" hosting as well. What's the best way to split this? Here are a few ideas I've been kicking around. What kinds of things should be the "extras" that require a paid Premium (but still cheap) account? You should pay for accounts to…

Hey #Musicians, if you're on #Bandwagon, the time has come. I'm prepping the #SearchEngine and giving you a preview of how it'll work. Just jump over to bandwagon.fm and hit "Discover" to check it out. I'm really pleased with this first step, but it will still be a just dumb, empty shell until we can get all your music is tagged, and optimize the tags/categories together.

for all the details. I can't wait to hear what you think.

RespectfulPlatforms.org - Digital Platform Charter of Rights

. This is the kind of declaration everyone should get behind. Honestly, it's still a bit of a "to do" list for #Emissary and #Bandwagon. Moderation tools, in particular, are still lacking right now. But I'm going to work hard to complete these, because I believe every person - all 8 billion of us - deserves to use an Internet that values people over profits, privacy over censorship, and humanity over technology. https://mastodon.social/@dansup/113851929699796097
