In response to the transfer of Bandcamp to a new owner and mass layoffs, a developer has already built a simple alternative for musicians.

There’s a really cool open source alternative to Bandcamp that just came out. With some questions raised about Bandcamp’s future, some musicians in the Fediverse are leaning into the new platform as a different approach to selling their music.

Faircamp is just a static site, and doesn’t federate itself, but its adoption within the Fediverse suggests that people are at least thinking about alternative solutions.

      I appreciate the explanation and your English is great. I get it now, it’s a website builder for your music that can be hosted on an instance, your instance, or a web hosting site like godaddy. I thought that it used your laptop or desktop as a sort of temp instance.

        Thannnnks,

        Yeah you can say this, to be precise you can replace the word “instance” by “server”, who is basically an computer opened on the web.

        Because a website builder for me I would imagine an framework or a thing design to make websites wrote in php like.

        You can speak of an App, even it can be confusing for you, but an app for a server. You can even have it installed, on an server with an static IP but not domain or website along.

        What you said first was even right. you can even do host it with an laptop for your home network and in this case you don’t need an website ^^
