Hey #Musicians, if you're on #Bandwagon, the time has come.

Awesome. And, thank you! Please tag your albums, and explore how they show in the search results. I’m really curious to see how it works for you.

@benpate Metal I'm not sure! I'll happily add a free image ad to it from https://thegothcalendar.co.uk if you like.

That would be awesome. Yes please!
The design is very fluid right now, and I can certainly add more tags for Goth music and other related genres. I’m open to whatever works best

@benpate not sure what the best channel is for feedback, defaulting to here
so I think the "#8-bit" tag is not selectable (probably needs to drop the hyphen?). I think this looks really nice. Would be interested in an API... -

@benpate also, frustratingly, I don't seem to be able to like or follow directly, which makes me a bit sad.

@andypiper Thanks! Yeah, I saw that too, on 8-bit specifically. Need to figure out why that specific label is breaking my widget.
Artists can put any tags in that they want, but server admins can choose which ones they feature, and which ones they hide.
What sort of API would you like? I could pretty easily give you a JSON feed of, what… all the tags? all the albums? search results only?

Following a query of search results is coming soon. That's the big change that will make it different, but I think I need to hide that widget from the "beta" until it works.
But, you didn't have any trouble following a specific band, did you?

@benpate no idea yet, I'm using words, and not sure what I want
thinking about possible futures. I don't think a hashtag is "supposed" to include a hyphen. I did manage to follow a band but had to paste the ID into the Mastodon side, always fails with the intent link. -

@benpate apparently I think best when driving to the studio... so I'm thinking having Bandwagon search as an optional search provider inside of GNOME Shell (if I'm continuing with that little side project) - could be cool to search for artists, albums, genres and have them offered as results in GNOME itself -> visits to profiles.

Awesome idea. Thanks. I've put this in my project queue to think about: https://github.com/orgs/EmissarySocial/projects/1/views/1?pane=issue&itemId=95178266
I have a few other things I *need* to get done first, but I want to keep this in the mix to consider with other kinds of search-related issues.
