Reddit sucks. Let’s make our own reddit with blackjack and hookers.
Result: there are now 15 competing reddit knockoffs. Each one is small and lonely.
Solution: let the reddit knockoffs talk to each other. This solves the problem of a fractured userbase. This was always reddit’s strength: disparate communities united, on the same site. This size and diversity meant there was a high likelihood of someone who knows what they’re talking about or someone with a unique perspective stumbling across the post and chiming in.
By understanding the motivation, hopefully the concept of “Federation” makes more sense.

Plex does alright at suggesting music from your own library, and also has some really nice DJ-like song transitions that are legitimately way better than any other track fades. However, Plex users have been frustrated with the company’s slow response to fixing long-standing bugs, and some of the features are paid. It’s also not open-source.
No idea if it can suggest music that isn’t in your library; I know that they integrate with Tidal though, so maybe if you have that it’ll also suggest stuff from Tidal?
I seem to be in the minority, but I’ve never had issues with it resetting my default browser.
