I see that “but” these are 90% artists coming up on Nostr, which is great, but what I mean is that no big/middle famous artists from out-of-Nostr come into Fountain. The only one I can think of is nostr:npub173se9w9ehcd58lpsagnu0jckyy9wmctj22e6495jlwel9ws4xxvsysnvgw from Vulfpack, but neither he promotes him being in Fountain/Wavlake, but rather Bandcamp.

@boka I think the issue is that RSS and Nostr are separate protocols. Both do incredible things for music that most musicians don’t know about yet because collectively we are brainwashed by traditional distribution that point and click upload/distribution is the standard. Anyone can use these tools but it’s not a point and click experience. It’s not that we (musicians collectively) need it dumbed down either it’s just that we are using all of our time and brain power to make amazing music. We need a distribution UI that allows artists to upload and attach a wallet with splits that we can control AND that works with both ecosystems seamlessly. Ideally it would even work with traditional distribution…. Like Tidal. TIdal is making BIG moves in the space but all through the @block companies, specifically nostr:npub1cashappn03s3cl2ljsdntv0v28e2um5lgx4vjctqjt23pcwzjhsqmtdg5l - Artists can upload direct (at no charge) and be paid direct (from supporters and fans) via Cash App (I’m hoping bitcoin soon🤞) Be sure to check out Tidal Upload (separate from the normal tidal experience) if you have not already.
As nostr:npub19r9qrxmckj2vyk5a5ttyt966s5qu06vmzyczuh97wj8wtyluktxqymeukr said it’s early and we are just not there yet. That said some of us have been at it now for years without any real improvement on the UI side.
I’m hoping in 2026 we will bring a lot more collaboration between #nostr and #rss that addresses USER needs specifically.
I love my many DEV friends around the world but we need developers building for users. This feels like the biggest oversight to me in the space. More user solutions less vibe coding.
