A music selection idea welcomes your feedback

for funkwhale if you want to get new music get a list of funkwhale instance you want to follow, for example here : Grafana. And query the api to get fresh releases : https://open.audio/api/v2/albums?scope=all&page=1&page_size=30&q=&ordering=-creation_date&playable=true&include_channels=true&include_tracks=false&content_category=music

this will return all the release the instancec is aware of, including releases from other instances, if you want only local data we could create a filter for this. If you want only content poste by artists themselves use :
https://open.audio/api/v2/channels?scope=all&content_category=music&page=1&page_size=30&q=&ordering=-creation_date

I got technical help and we are trying to find the best way to have multiple Ghost instances in the server.

Meanwhile, I’m starting to write real text: (feedback welcome, as always)

UPDATE: text moved to About Selecteh and updated.

Where I put in writing everything I have thought about this potential platform to create newsletters about social music. From here, I have two or three tasks:

  1. Finish the project mini-site https://selecteh.org
  2. Get https://electre.selecteh.org ready and write the first publication for September.
  3. If anyone is interested in creating their selecteh, support them.

But I won’t put much effort promoting an empty Selecteh. The best promotion will be Electre Selecteh if it’s good.

Turns out Ghost makes it very easy to embed iframes. This makes @mirlo albums’ embedded player look and work great:

Copied from 💌🐦‍⬛ Mirlo Monthly Roundup: Jul 2026 by Mirlo – I still have to try an album of my choice.

Can @bandwagon albums be embedded as well? Faircamp, Funkwhale? (I have no idea about iframes beyond copying and pasting.)

Super happy this works “as intended”, this was a ton of work to make sure the player would work regardless of the form factor it’s embeded in so this makes me really happy.
