In the wake of Epic selling Bandcamp to Songtradr, Bandcamp is facing uncertainty with half of its employees being laid off. This has led to concerns about the future of the popular platform and has left many artists searching for alternatives. While there is no Fediverse solution yet, Faircamp is stepping in to help musicians. Faircamp is a static site generator for audio producers that allows artists to easily host their own site for selling music. It offers customization options, payment setup, freebies, and mobile compatibility. The music community has responded positively to Faircamp, with musicians supporting each other through an old-school webring and Radio Free Fedi offering free hosting services. Faircamp presents itself as an alternative for musicians who don’t want to self-host or be a part of a walled garden platform. It shows promise as a method of supporting artists within the Fediverse.
