Man legt ein Konto an und danach noch einen Kanal. Warum das zwei verschiedene Dinge sind, erschließt sich niemandem, der nicht vorher weiß, wie es darunter funktioniert.
Das ist bei YouTube schon immer(?) so und das gibt es seit 2005 und hat Monopolstellung. Mehrere Kanäle unter dem gleichen Account ist übrigens auch kein Bug, sondern ein Feature.
Die Youtube Logik, wie sie auch von Peertube verwendet wird, finde auch ich nicht optimal gelöst fürs Fediverse. Aktuell müssen bei Peertube Bands z.B. erst ein Konto anlegen, welches eine Fediverse Adresse wird. In den meistens Fällen wird hier logischerweise der Bandname verwendet. Um nun Videos hochladen zu können, muss ein Kanal angelegt werden, der wiederum eine weitere Fediverse Adresse generiert. Hierfür muss dann ein anderer Name als der Bandname verwendet werden. Im Fediverse schwirren dann also zwei Fediverse Adressen rum, obwohl nur eine reichen würde. Das verwirrt die User. In den meisten Fällen wollen User einfach nur Videos in einen Kanal hochladen...
My experience with Mojeek is not so good. The search index does not contain many pages, even those from websites that have existed for decades. Often only the home pages are indexed. Mojeek is currently unusable for me!
Regarding underwear, you can take a look at SCHIESSER. The company was founded in Germany in 1875 and has always stood for quality. The company has been Israeli-owned since 2011. But the company location is still Germany.
Ach ja...Motor City Rock ist auch im Fediverse vertreten unter @motorcityrock@kaputtgart.social Wenn du ihnen dort folgst, bekommst du tägliche Status Posts mit den Events...
Schau mal auf www.motorcityrock.de, dort gibt es einen Kalender für Veranstaltungen aus dem Subkultur Bereich. Außerdem gibt es dort eine Seite mit Adressen zu Clubs/Bars/Läden usw.
To get a better impression, all that would be needed is for a few indie artists to disclose how their payout rate is calculated down to 1000 streams per provider...
I'm still waiting for a streaming provider that pays so fairly that the subscription fees are distributed proportionally to what the user has actually heard. For example, if I pay 12 €/month and have only listened to one artist in the whole month, it should be obvious that this artist gets, for example, 70% of the 12 € and the streaming provider gets the remaining 30%. But I'll probably have to wait forever for that...
And it turns out all services are intransparent. There are no hard facts and numbers. It’s massively complicated how they calculate these payouts and seems nobody publishes the exact maths behind it.
Besides the political aspects... The main reason why Spotify should be boycotted is the fact that they exploit artists (small and large artists receive virtually nothing for their streamed music) and flood the market with AI-generated music...

As long as Mojeek does not index sites properly, the search results remain useless.
You can use pnpm instead of npm. pnpm has a "Delay dependency updates" feature where you can install package versions that are x old only.
See https://pnpm.io/supply-chain-security#delay-dependency-updates
Edit: I just found out, that this can also be specified in npm and yarn: https://gist.github.com/mcollina/b294a6c39ee700d24073c0e5a4e93104

Check out the StreetComplete app that makes it easy to complete missing OSM data in your GPS area.

Sadly I just found out that Qobuz is using Amazon Web Services (AWS). So using Qobuz means giving money to Amazon... What a shame!

Mittlerweile haben ja schon einige große Onlinehändler einen Marktplatz in ihren Online-Shop integriert.
Auf anhieb fallen mir da z.B. ein:
Conrad.de Kaufland.de
Media Markt Otto.de
Voelkner.de
...
Für Bücher und Medien gibt es z.B. auch noch Booklooker.de

Yes, it is indeed a problem that almost no one discloses official numbers. Qobuz at least did this once: https://community.qobuz.com/press-de/qobuz-legt-als-erster-akteur-in-der-musikindustrie-seine-durchschnittliche-vergtung-pro-stream
Yes, I agree with you! Of course, these articles and figures are not reliable. Here is an article with payout numbers, which also goes into more detail about how the numbers came about: https://dynamoi.com/de/learn/statistics/what-streaming-platforms-actually-pay-per-stream
Sure, they are an option, too!
Yes, but their payout is only slightly higher than Spotify...
Here's a good read about streaming payouts in 2025: https://rebelmusicdistribution.com/2025/08/22/which-streaming-service-pays-the-most-per-1000-streams-in-2025-top-5-platforms/
Qobuz (who payout the most beside Napster) is a European company.

Have you already had a look at https://metager.de/?
Bandwagon.fm is a great project, but unfortunately, ActivityPub/Federation is not yet reliably implemented and has too many bugs.
For example, if you follow a Pixelfed account and then unfollow, the follow remains on Pixelfed!
In my opinion, the ActivityPub part of bandwagon.fm is unfortunately not yet production-ready and should be tested and fixed more thoroughly.
Don't forget the instance operators! How can we get them more donations?
I recently found out about https://crowdbucks.fund/ (which is done for the Fediverse) and https://liberapay.com/
Maybe a first step would be to offer a native way to link to such donation platforms (link on the user profile, link on each posting, ...)
Also donations for the instance should be promoted more prominent.
