I'm involved in a number of music-making communities (February Album Writing Month and 50/90, specifically).
These days SoundCloud is a fairly poor experience for artists and listeners both. Most folks I know are mostly migrating away from it.
Some folks use https://alonetone.com
Others just use Bandcamp, YouTube, Internet Archive, or self-host.
As an artist and listener both, I prefer almost anything over SoundCloud.
