Experiences with Nicotine? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I know that a lot of people prefer Nicotine over the original Soulseek client. While it's definitely more stable (especially on Linux) and arguably more attractive, I've always switched back to the original client because Nicotine gives me way fewer search results, and I've noticed that a lot of my "regulars" don't show up in my uploads list.

Anyone else have similar experiences? Any tips for making Nicotine work better?

I was struggling too...ended up being I had a space or a tab or something in the yml config file and everything just worked...I was messing about with symlinks, remounting drives under /home and it was all due to one blank space in the config I think.

I've got navidrome on my pi too and Symfonium & Tailscale on my Android....awesome to be able to grab tracks, in flac, anywhere in the world and immediately stream them back using MP3 or ogg.

Yeah, it's super finicky, It also took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out how to download from the search results. This is cool though, I'm really stoked I finally got this working!

Glad to hear.

Had similar struggles, but glad I pushed though.

Between my Android phone, pi & stereo I now have music on the go and in the house that can beat what I had with Windows, Limewire, stereo & a 20GB ipod classic ~2003. Better late than never.
