What it does
Funkwhale supports personal music libraries, sharing between servers and publishing music or podcasts.
Choose a pod or operate your own server. Register on that pod to upload your music library, share it and keep favourites; each pod sets its own rules. Browser and compatible-app listening can draw on personal libraries and community-shared music or podcasts.
Check the chosen pod’s listening access and moderation policy. Federation enables sharing between pods, but it does not give every server the same catalogue or anonymous-access rules.
