So you can scrobble and it gets you new music? But so, how can you listen to that new music?

Re: Show HN: Rocksky – Music scrobbling and discovery on the AT Protocol
#12Tonight I'll be adding support for this in an app (Poppy.fm) that already supports both Last.fm and ListenBrainz. Apologies if I missed this, but am I understanding correctly that users must get a Rocksky API key? (In other words, there's no OAuth support for native iOS users who'll expect a "Sign in with Bluesky"-type flow?)

Thanks. From the FAQ, https://docs.rocksky.app/faq-918661m0 > What is Rocksky? > Rocksky is a decentralized, open-source music tracking and discovery platform built on the AT Protocol. It works like Last.fm but publishes your listening history directly to your Bluesky account. - Can we start a trend where we tell people what the thing is and what it does without making them dig around to find it? I don't use Bluesky…
Instead of a line by line command copypaste, they really could have used a single post where users can just copy the commands and paste the set to terminal.

#14I really hate the word scrobble. I'm pretty tolerant of weird language as long as it can be understood, but this can't. Everybody who uses the word seems to think it's a normal word that everybody already knows or can figure out from context (so they never define it), but "scrobble your music" could mean a million things.

You scrobble to record your listens, and then based on your listening history, there are many ways (in scrobblers and services that integrate with them) to get recommendations. Example: https://resources.onestowatch.com/how-lastfm-recommends-new-...

#16You truly know that you're totally out of the loop with some topic when you read "Music discovery on the AT Protocol" and think how the heck did they manage to build such thing with just AT Commands against a GSM modem [^]

I thought "A decentralized music tracking and discovery platform" and the features list was plenty descriptive. I don't think you have to use Bluesky to use this, I think Bluesky is like the backend, and otherwise it's a Last.fm alternative?

I don't know why you are being downvoted, but I totally thought about that AT protocol first.
Apparently, the OP refers to https://atproto.com/> per the FAQ at https://docs.rocksky.app/faq-918661m0#what-is-the-at-protoco...>

#20Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thank you! Last.fm was a huge inspiration for Rocksky. I still think scrobbling and social listening are some of the best ways to discover music. Hoping to bring a more open and modern approach to it with ATProto.
If you can a find a way of A) getting live scrobbles from Last.fm into Rocksky without having to change the clients that are all using Last.fm already and/or B) get historical scrobbles out of Last.fm into Rocksky, I'd think you could potentially take over the ecosystem relatively quickly :)
Yes, interoperability is super important to me. I don't want users to rebuild their entire setup just to try Rocksky.
