A walled garden is a closed ecosystem where the platform provider controls access, content, and services, limiting what users can do or see beyond its borders.
Weโre a music delivery service first and foremost. Weโve supported open distribution from day one, including, but not limited to, to Podcast Index, LLC, which is how apps like Fountain, LN Beats, and others have built their music libraries over the years. Our entire catalog is open to RSS, and we even offer 50% of our revenue to anyone who builds a new app that grows the ecosystem.
If youโre referring to our open source mobile player, our Nostr client, itโs not an RSS player. Thatโs why it doesnโt show RSS feeds. RSS doesnโt support zaps. Itโs like asking why your bike doesnโt have airbags.
Want to see more music in these so-called walled gardens? Ask RSS hosts to support Lightning addresses and zaps. Until then, maybe the gardenโs not the problem ๐
