Is Funkwhale dead? (lemmy.ml)

Ive tried to find some other post about it, here on Lemmy, but haven't found it, and the funkwhale Lemmy forum is actually dead. So I have signed up for a pod, could log in, on the web, but not the original funkwhale app. So is funkwhale dead? Are there any alternatives? Or have I misunderstood how to get started with it? (I'm a newbie)

To my knowledge, the project isn't dead...but, it has been moving at a horribly slow pace for a very long time.

Funkwhale is a pretty cool project, but it's one of those things where the ActivityPub implementation really was bolted on well after the core experience was defined and developed. It was meant to be a Grooveshark clone, while a lot of people were hoping to use it in a more social way, like SoundCloud.
