Is there a federated version of Soundcloud?
Back in the day I used to really like browsing soundcloud, listening to mashups, indie artists, and whatnot. Eventually soundcloud got too big and took down a lot of content (probably due to copyright) and introduced paid "pro" accounts. Is there a place like the early soundcloud on the fediverse?

there is FunkWhale
not sure how it compares to SoundCloud, but it is certainly some sort of successor to GrooveSharkWow Grooveshark. What a flashback.
I got KeePass before I got Grooveshark. I still have my account info!
Man I miss Grooveshark. Used to be awesome! Forgot what happened to it?
It got taken down because there was so much licensed music uploaded to it, I believe
Well that was the whole purpose. What makes this Funkywhale any different?
Federation, probably harder for music labels to go after so many instances?
I think the opposite. Most of the instances are closed/invite only, so there's no way to know if there's any improperly licensed music there. 🤷♂️
Ah that’s funny, kind of like private trackers
That's a name I haven't heard in forever! They built so much hype around Grooveshark and I dont remember it ever even working.
