Does anyone know the status of #funkwhale? The website (funkwhale.audio) has been down for a couple days now. #fediverse @opensource

funkwhale.agapimou.top is a Funkwhale instance, and it seems to be running, so it must just be that one instance.

@opensource I see that a new whois record was created for the domain name just today. Any chance it expired? 😬 cc @funkwhale @cda

I wonder if it got hit with some kind of dmca shenanigans.

@Telorand @opensource Maybe. But I didn't think there was an actual funkwhale instance at that URL -- I thought it was just the project's website (forums, git repo, etc). I could be wrong, though.

If so, that's an unfortunate way of learning to separate the two, I guess. 😩

Or it could be as simple as forgetting to renew the domain registration. Maybe they'll make a statement

@aciDC14 @opensource Not sure what you mean; Funkwhale is a self-hostable application for streaming music. Uses ActivityPub for sharing, too.

v2 was in the planning stages on their forum, but the website has now been down for 2-3 days (that I know of).

Idk. I never heard of the website and there's a lot of weird mentions

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Funkwhale is part of the Fediverse. The site they mention is a single instance.

ETA: It's a single instance, but also the main landing page for feeding people to various docs and instances.

I honestly don’t understand the dislikes.

According to this I think this is the Mastodon account of the Funkwhale developer https://mastodon.eliotberriot.com/@funkwhale which is down as well. The first link also has a link to their Matrix channel.

That site links to advertisements for a VPN now...
