@limebar just let me know that they're working on an amazing project with a lot of folks from the Fediverse!
A MTV style #Fedi powered 24x7 #music #video #channel . I know there are a few creators on TubeFree.org that might be interested? Perhaps @labr or @enoent ?

Dear creative people of the fedi 😊🎨🎹❤️
I am thrilled to announce that my 3rd album is now not available online.
Yep, you read that right, you can't download it, you can't stream it, you can't buy it, and AI bros can't harvest it.
It is only available in exchange for something creative that you have created yourself.
More info and how it works:

Boosts are hugely appreciated.

The complete list of all these albums I've posted about from 2025. It's not an exhaustive list - I did enjoy more than exactly 100 albums (and EPs, and things that might be short albums and might be long EPs) this year, and I'm sure I'll find many more that I missed as time goes along.
It's been an exceptionally strong year for music that I like - particularly for new soul music - and no doubt I'll continue discovering its wonders for years, decades to come.
The list, which for one final time (it never hurts to clarify) is in completely random order:

Gonna drop these as I feel like it
One of my top #experimental #synthpop albums of 2025: #SaekoKilly's Dream In Dream
https://saekokilly.bandcamp.com/album/dream-in-dream
The title track is a bit more laid back, but check out Next Time or Melancholy for a hint of #postpunk + beat, even a hint of #krautrock. Album wanders styles and languages - English, Japanese, and German. Found her through the experimental/electronic label Bureau B #music

#introduction
Hi, I'm Marianne, AKA Noodlemaz!
I've actually been here since 2022 but my old instance just got shut down (med-mastodon refugee). Please follow me again here 🙃
I'm a science communicator based in London, UK.
I'm in London's nerdiest choir, Ready Singer One - we do music from video games, film and TV!
My PhD was in cancer biology; molecular pathology of cancer.
I love games, nature, SciFi friends (hi!), music etc. and look forward to chatting here

As December draws to a close, I have been looking back at some of my previous releases. Hard to think that it has been 3+ years since my first full album release - Disruptions (https://ccirco.bandcamp.com/album/disruptions).

Time for a new #introduction!
I live on the border, where #Arizona, #Mexico and #NewMexico all come together.
I mostly post about #cooking, #gardening, #hiking and #publiclands
I'm interested in #music, #art, #anime, #manga, #comics, #math, #videogames, #retrogaming and #retrocomputing
I switched from #Amiga to #linux and #bsd so I actually know very little about MS Windows.
I have released my latest song and video. It's available on my PeerTube site. Enjoy and please boost it if you like it!
"Down Down Down"
squeezing in one last decembird with this loquacious lad, gary nubird. the starling is rarer & rarer in scotland; so, sadly, i've never had the distinct honour of hearing one bust out a classic electro riff. i'll bet they do it all the time, though, with their little customised roland tr-808s.

Oooh it’s time to share my year in music 2025, joyfully generated with @ListenBrainz!
I am not as satisfied with it as I was in previous years, but the wild range of genres and artists truly reflects the diversity of my listens. I love it.
I am most proud of C.U.R.A. by Dietro L’Angolo, a local rap collective from La Pigna, Sanremo, appearing there. They are my friends and I have been listening to them endlessly since they performed at @scambi in August 2025. I am also the one who added their album to @musicbrainz 😉
This is my fifth time on Mastodon and my fifth #intro.
I’m Sara. Originally from #Portugal, now based in the #Netherlands. I’m into #tech, especially #audio and #accessibility, love #music, travel quite a bit, and survive mostly on #coffee.
I’ve been on Mastodon before, but life got busy, and some servers disappeared along the way.
I’m here to meet cool people, have good conversations, share thoughts about tech, sound, travel, and random stuff, and actually stick around this time.
Keen to find new music outside of the streaming ecosystem? Here's a pretty amazing project by @kidlightbulbs to help you do just that, supporting Mirlo, @Ampwall, @benpate, #Qobuz, libraries and more! 🔍🐦⬛

Albums the Fediverse Loved in 2025
And here we have it: a list of 151 albums (plus a few artists/labels in general) that kept 64 of us going in 2025, complete with tasting notes plus other tidbits in footnotes! Some stats:
- Nearly 75% of the albums are 2025 releases, with the rest stretching back to 1971.
- About 50% are from the US or Britain, meaning 50% are, well, not.
- A number of genres are represented, including ambient, classical, country, electronic, experimental, folk, hip-hop, J-pop, jazz, metal, noise, pop, punk, R&B, rock, et al.
- We didn't rank/vote since the Fediverse's musical tastes are far too diverse to do so meaningfully, BUT we had 8 albums submitted by multiple people, with *spoiler alert* Messa's 'The Spin' being our runaway top pick with 5 submissions!
Below are the usual links but, for those who want to see the footnotes, I highly recommend reading this on the actual blog so you can toggle back and forth between the album title line and the footnote itself without scrolling endlessly.
👉 See the full list on the Fediverse at https://linernotes.club/@1001otheralbums.com@1001otheralbums.com or on the blog: https://1001otheralbums.com/2026/01/02/albums-the-fediverse-loved-in-2025/
Many thanks to all who participated, and to those checking out the list. I hope you all enjoy - perhaps you’ll find a new-to-you Fedi-recommended album that gets you through 2026!
