Instances List
Viewing instance settings
If the instance is in the instances list, then you can view a few of the settings there (ProxyStreams, ProxyImages, Restream)
You can also visit <instance>/_/info to view some of the settings. This endpoint is only available if InstanceInfo is enabled by the maintainer.
Preferences
Click the "Preferences" button on the main page, or navigate to <instance>/_/preferences to get started.
Instance maintainers can set their own default preferences.
Refer to here for a full list of preferences. If you don't see certain preferences on the page, it means that you have to enable a different preference to configure this one, or this feature has been disabled on the backend.
Those preferences are saved in a cookie.
Management
Scroll down to the end of the preferences page. There you can see a management tab for preferences. You can export your preferences as a JSON file, import the preferences, or reset them.
Redirecting from SoundCloud to soundcloak
soundcloak tries to keep the URL schemes same to SoundCloud's, so you can just replace soundcloud.com with your instance URL. For short links: https://on.soundcloud.com/boiKDP46fayYDoVK9 -> <instance>/on/boiKDP46fayYDoVK9
To automatically redirect, you can use LibRedirect extension. Soundcloak is supported
Following artists
There is no accounts system yet (maybe in the future?), but you can use RSS feeds to keep up with new tracks.
You can subscribe to <instance>/_/rss/<username> in your feed reader program. Thunderbird works well for this
Extra notes
If you find music that you like, make sure to download it! Stuff that's on there may be deleted or changed at any moment, without any warning or ability to experience it again, unless you download it for yourself. Download button is available if Restream is enabled in backend config. You can configure audio preset for downloading in preferences page. For easily and quickly downloading entire users or playlists, you can use my tool scrip
