TBH I plan to migrate off Funkwhale to something more featureful and yea it was a bit of complex set up. Props to the devs tho, it’s open source, stable, and does what it says on the tin
No. Soulseek is old school P2P. All you need to do is run the client software, set a local shared folder, and your are client and server in one. Funkwhale is more like running your own Lemmy instance and building a community. The difference between them is like the difference between using Airdrop or Syncthing to share files and hosting hosting your own domain and server.

Is funkwhale also a sort of soulseek?

AFAIK: Yes. But it’s supposedly a pain to set up, so I’ll never know the difference.

Soulseek afict requires dedicated clients. The Subsonic standard is supported by more & more mobile/PC apps, I wish it was supported
