Managing Channels
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Channels are a collection of audio files published directly on Funkwhale.
|
|
While :doc:`libraries <managing>` are used to store collections of music such as
|
|
your personal music collection or a collection of publicly available music, channels
|
|
come in two forms:
|
|
|
|
- **Podcasts** - A podcast published on Funkwhale
|
|
- **Artist Discography** - A collection of music by a specific artist
|
|
|
|
While libraries come with different privacy levels due to the type of content they host,
|
|
channels are public and are designed to be followed by others across the fediverse.
