My question is, who's the target audience for this?

I only know about Linktree because it's used by some artists and Twitch streamers, and they're unlikely to self-host. So presumably this is targeted to a different audience than that.




That's a good question, for sure. I clicked on the OP (and then here) because the company I work for is in the early stages of bringing this functionality (linktree, ffm.to type thing) in-house, so I was curious to see what's on offer here.

We won't use this because we'll end up building something more custom fit for us (more of a full featured "landing page" experience), but this is still interesting to see.

(For context, the company works with artists and we launch dozens of projects a year, each of which needs a "link tree" or landing page-style place that's updated constantly for several months bracketing the launch date.)


I use this for a set of applications that I self host that I give my friends access to. I use it as a quick and easy place to dump a couple links, and I can put it behind a reverse proxy.


I think pretty much everyone I follow on Insta and Tiktok use Linktree or similar. Several are more than capable of setting this up.


Why are they unlikely to selfhost? There are those who do that amongst those groups as well.


I’m a musician and a DevOps engineer so me?
