I credit last.fm with showing me a lot of the music I love, it’s the perfect recommendation model and still the best social music platform so I’m definitely rooting for you to improve on it!
Thank you!
Last.fm was a huge inspiration for Rocksky. I still think scrobbling and social listening are some of the best ways to discover music. Hoping to bring a more open and modern approach to it with ATProto.
If you can a find a way of A) getting live scrobbles from Last.fm into Rocksky without having to change the clients that are all using Last.fm already and/or B) get historical scrobbles out of Last.fm into Rocksky, I'd think you could potentially take over the ecosystem relatively quickly :)
> Rocksky is a decentralized, open-source music tracking and discovery platform built on the AT Protocol. It works like Last.fm but publishes your listening history directly to your Bluesky account.

Can we start a trend where we tell people what the thing is and what it does without making them dig around to find it?
I don't use Bluesky and don't plan to start. Rocksky really isn't for me.
While it's not like it was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard,' this whole experience could have been concluded a lot faster if the project page simply described the function of the thing in a forthright fashion.
So you can scrobble and it gets you new music? But so, how can you listen to that new music?
Finally an Atmosphere app on HN, and it's also a very cool one!
Two if we're being pedantic, Tangled.org where this git repository is hosted it also a Atmosphere app ;)
Can you add a youtube video of the song so it plays it on your site?
Lovely, will give it a try later today!
I ditched all music services and now navidrome+narjo combo, works perfectly well, flac, and with reverse proxy exposing the server there’s no need to vpn or anything, it’s a drop in replacement, and free.
Super awesome!
