I know it’s mostly used for audio, but I thought it’d be cool to have a lil lemmygrad soulseek room to share books around (and commie music anyway?), so I made one! Feel free to join, it’s just called “lemmygrad”, just tick the auto-join room option.

For those that don’t know, Soulseek is a P2P (but 1-to-1) file sharing app. You mark a folder you like to share and now users can find it’s files in the search bar and download them directly (or ask you to if you restrict them).

Rooms lets you chat around and click on users directly to browse what they have, so we can share and aggregate our stuff (=

(if you’re on Linux you can use nicotine+ as the front-end which is in the official arch repos and also looks nicer I say)

    I’m so ashamed of my music taste. Imagine that my music folder is full of clasical music, lets go with that. I guess I could share audiobooks for people who can’t torrent if you can assure me I won’t get doxxed from it, lol.

      communism <=> lgbt identity <=> really fucking obscure hardcore music, it’s okay I completley understand

      As for getting doxxed, it’s about the same as torrenting, people can see your ip and country flag but nobody cares they just use it to download music lol. Use a diff username and a vpn if you’re too concerned

        If you believe I have an obscure and hardcore music taste I will disappoint you big time

            Let’s just say I’m not immune to 70s, 80s and even 90s pop. Or synths.

    I only use it to download. Half the time I get an automated message reminding me to share a folder which I can’t because my computer is not on all the time. :'(

      You can share folders if your computer’s not on! That’s most people anyway

      If someone requests it it’ll go into a queue, and eventually when you turn Soulseek on it’ll start uploading

      (sometimes when you try to download it just doesn’t for hours that’s why)
