I just did a full wipe of my system to try out Fedora KDE, XFCE & Budgie spins (I finally got fed up with Gnome not being what I wanted anymore after like 15 years of using it as my preferred DE) and didn’t really have the same experience at all - even Fedora XFCE which you say was completely broken was working fine for me. I haven’t run anything other than Fedora in a long time though so I can’t really speak to the out of the box experience on other distros.
yeah I know, it’s still missing kinda basic stuff like moderator tools (or if they’re there I can’t find them, which is another problem) and I find the overall UI less intuitive than the web app. I know it’s in the early stages and I’m not trying to shit on the app or devs in any way. just doesn’t seem like the best way to use the platform at the moment.
had no idea about this, I’ve been using it in the browser because Jerboa is clunky and still lacking a bunch of features, thanks for the tip
I actually use archive.org for a lot of live concert recordings. bands like the Grateful Dead and Phish have been allowing/sort of encouraging fans to record and freely share their concerts for a long time and it’s all just out there to listen to and download as much as you want. there’s also the official streaming services like nugs.net and LivePhish for higher quality professionally recorded concerts, the subscription is kind of pricey but I think the artists get a better cut than on regular streaming services.
other than that I do use Spotify a bit and try to buy stuff on Bandcamp to support the artists when I can.

music discovery/discussion. I found so much cool music on reddit communities for bands or genres I like
resources for learning about & discussing some of my hobbies and interests like FOSS software, Linux, gaming, guitar etc
communities for people local to the city/state I live in
not a mobile app but Spicetify for desktop might have an extension that does what you’re looking for.
