Do you still use last.fm?

After discovering the Clementine / Strawberry supported scrobbling, I hooked up my account earlier this year after over a decade of dormancy, although it's only linked to a single device at the moment.

The last.fm folks have always been very nice, but it's a closed, corporate-owned platform.

Are there any currently active FOSS alternatives I ought to know about ?

Anyway, I live here:
last.fm/user/x1351x

@HauntedOwlbear it is possible that you, me, and @jay will be the last.users of last.fm 😜

@andypiper @jay

Let's friend each other and watch it slowly crumble around us!

@HauntedOwlbear @andypiper @jay I've got 19 years of history and still going!

@andypiper @HauntedOwlbear I would love to shift to something that works exactly the same way but is open. I have history on last.fm that goes back to about 2008! I take great care to ensure every listen is captured and scrobbled too.

@jay @andypiper @HauntedOwlbear ListenBrainz is the active FOSS alternative:
listenbrainz.org/

Libre.fm was another last.fm alternative, but it seems to have gone dormant in 2022 while they try to rewrite the software from scratch (someone should update Wikipedia):
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libre.fm
github.com/foocorp/gnu-fm
github.com/foocorp/hacienda

@HauntedOwlbear a fediverse version world be cool, especially if it could include support for something like

@HauntedOwlbear there were a few GNU fm sites. I think they are mostly unhealthy lately.

I'm github.com/krateng/maloja as an alternative... But I still scrobble to last.fm at the moment

@bujiraso Oh, this could be what I need. It AT LEAST looks like a fun project!

@HauntedOwlbear you can also use some web sites to scrape all your listens from last.fm and throw them onto your maloja

@HauntedOwlbear ListenBrainz might be the way to go - listenbrainz.org/
It's part of the same project as MusicBrainz, and their about page talks about being open and community-based, with a link to their Git repo.

@lunarloony nice! I think I actually saw this in Strawberry's scrobble-to list.

@HauntedOwlbear I used to meet so many people on Last.fm, even just to not go to concerts alone. My former best friend also met his current wife there too.
Shame to see it die slowly.
