<p class="p">Reddit (AKA "the frontpage of the internet") is a social media website.
Among its various sections is a large group of music subreddits.
Most of them link popular or novel Youtube music/videos, or user-produced
content etc.</p>
<div class="list"><div class="inner"><div class="region"><ul class="list">
<li class="list"><p class="p">Around <span class="em">620</span> subreddits are queried. That's just a selected part

discussion and news.</p></li>

list Soundcloud/Mixcloud/Bandcamp links.</p></li>

<dt class="terms"><span class="code">☑ Filter walled gardens </span></dt>
<dd class="terms">
<p class="p">Many music posts on reddit meanwhile point to one of Soundcloud,
Spotify, Bandcamp, Mixcloud. Those are basically just links you had
open in your browser. --
Now those are labeled "walled gardens" here, because they're hording
user content behind a paywall/registration-wall, fiddly NIH APIs,
non-standard audio formats, web-only players and sessioning.</p>
<p class="p">There's a few players or tools for those better-known hosters. But
smaller services fall under the radar. Which is why I think it's unfair
to provide out-of-the-box support for just those four services.
-- But anyway, you can disable filtering them, if you like. And then
