Yes. Both of these are on my radar -- particularly Gancio, because it would also help out the #Bandwagon project.

Basically, everything is #ActivityPub, so we should just be able to crawl other sites for the posts they publish. It may take a little work to discover posts and to massage them into the right format (Mobilizon's address formats make me sad) but all the plumbing is already there.

This #FairTradeMusicFriday I’d like to bring you the most recent Secret Deal* release, “Think Twice”, showcased via the brand new embeddable Bandwagon player, which is pretty cool: https://nham.co.uk/2025/11/embedding-bandwagon-on-fair-trade-music-friday/

*Music by @stefan. Lyrics/vox by me. Mixing mastery by @axwax

Thank you @benpate for giving us the ability to embed music from #Bandwagon. 🙌

Anyone else has problems with the publish button on #bandwagonfm ?
I click it and it does not do anything

#bandwagon

@benpate ? Is this a me problem?

@strk Unfortunately, there's no directory yet because Bandwagon.fm is the only one in production. That's not the goal, just the result of this still being a very new project.

I'm eager to change this, and am working with several people in different stages of launching their own #Bandwagon servers - though none are ready to move forward yet :(

And if you'd like a server dedicated to jazztodon.com, I'd love to help. Just let me know!

@mradcliffe These articles are cool! And, they'd be awesome additions to this kind of geolocation project -- geo-verse? local-verse? what do we call this?

My plan is to use #Bandwagon's federated search engine for this. Admins could choose sites (such as yours) to index and could list all ActivityStreams that include `location` data.

So, your Elephant sanctuary could *absolutely* show up on an Atlas site.. though I might have different opinions about where to find the best Jambalaya shops ;)

Pspsps #Fediverse

I'm collecting info for a Federated #Map server. Something that would let people share info and comment on what's going on at specific places out in the world.

There are lots of ways this might be useful to our community, so I've written a super-rough-draft spec on my website.

Just like #Bandwagon, this app would sit on top of #Emissary so most of this is already built. We just need to connect the dots.

More updates to #Bandwagon are now live on https://bandwagon.fm, including a beautiful embeddable player, Federation improvements, and upgrades to the core application.

We're continuing to move the #Fediverse forward for #Musicians and #Artists

Let me know how it works for you, and what would be the best next thing to work on.

I work for a software and DevOps consultancy firm, which means that I get an assignment to build software for one of my company's customers. (I'm on a US DOD cybersecurity contract).

I'm sitting in the monthly All-Hands meeting, and I had to turn off my camera, because I didn't want everyone to see how much I'm rolling my eyes right now.

Our Chief Digital Officer says that a recent MIT study shows that only 5% of new software projects built on AI actually make it to market. And that's why we have to go all in on AI to fill that market gap where others are failing.

He also started by saying that as we move towards AI-focused work, we're doing so to "distinguish ourselves". Yeah. We're going to "distinguish ourselves" by jumping into the bandwagon that everyone else is jumping into.

#AI #AISlop #hype #bandwagon

I'm a software developer working on a bunch of #Fediverse things: #Emissary, #Bandwagon, and bandwagon.fm - with several more in the pipeline.

It's a pretty strange mix that doesn't really fit today's Fediverse, but it makes sense when you see the end goal.

I got an opportunity at #Fedicon to explain myself, so here it is:

https://spectra.video/w/eod3ybLu7sHzAEMihej8km

It's not the greatest talk about Fediverse tech, but it's the best I've got so far, and I hope it inspires you to make great things here with me.

I loved hearing how @benpate gets his continued inspiration to build #Bandwagon from listening to the #music the artists upload to it.

Another top interview, @ozoned. Thank you. I’ve added it to the NHAM pages: https://nham.co.uk/podcasts/
