    While Funkwhale is a fantastic decentralized solution for music-listenning, it lacks a lot of the social features Soudcloud provides. It doesn't provide for an interesting community tool, because it is not its main focus.

    I don't like Funkwhale as an alternative because it's not similar to soundcloud.

    Audius is an amazing platform, but because Audius uses blockchain, artists can't delete their music, only hide them.

    Musify is an Android app that streams music from YouTube. It does not provide any of the social features that one would expect as an alternative to SoundCloud.
