It currently supports new releases on @mirlo.space, #bandcamp, Qobuz & #faircamp sites.
FYI: this is a paid feature - the Unstream Yearly Pass is $4.99/year, which I'm hoping is a low-enough price to not be painful but also help motivate me to keep making this thing better.

here's idea number one :) bsky.app/profile/bgre...
Fun update: I made an app over the holiday break!
It’s called Unstream: Find your favorite music on alternative platforms, directly support the artists you love, and move off streaming.
You can check it out here, at a URL I still find amusing: unstream.stream
