I've been using Bandcamp for some time, but it offers many options I don't need. I just want to put my tracks online for people to enjoy and download for free.
Bandcamp seems to be more focused in the selling of works. Even to download a free album we have to pass through a process of choosing a price.
I was considering moving to Soundcloud. It feels like it has a stronger community. Or just put my songs in a blog, but the downside of this is that it has no streaming.
What would you recommend?

Soundcloud is making a comeback! Get on it! The soundcloud dj thing is phasing out and there's a lot more visibility for non-EDM artists. EPs and albums are easier to upload than on Bandcamp, very compatible with reddit and facebook and any blog, the only problem is paying for premium once your uploads exceed 2 hours. Just don't expect to make any money right off of the site. If you're a professional musician with a released album, it's surprisingly easy to throw them up on Apple Music and Spotify.
I don't intend to make any money. I just do experimental stuff, sometimes for my own amusement, and to not keep them forgotten in a hard drive I like to share my experiments online. So I might try Soundcloud again. Good to know it's coming back. Thank you for your advice. :)
