@elettrona @FediThing We can make the picture optional and generate one with the podcast name when there is none so that you don't have to create one and that your RSS feed doesn't get refused.
Would that work out?
@elettrona @FediThing We try hard to make things move to bring more inclusivity and accessibility.
You blame us.
I feel bad.
@elettrona @FediThing Castopod asks you to add a picture because if you don't your RSS feed will be denied everywhere.
We added transcription from day one and advocated so that it becomes accepted everywhere.
We gave talks about inclusion and accessibility.
We spend time to provide Castopod ti the community for free, it does not pay our rent.
So please, please, don't rant for something we are not responsible for.
That kind of comments is very discouraging.
@gubi yes, on its way!
Castopod focuses on podcast hosting with ActivityPub, happy to answer any questions!

After reading about a major #Funkwhale instance shutting down, I'm wondering whether I should keep my podcast on open.audio.
https://blog.liberta.vip/libertadmin/its-over-for-liberta-audio
However, the idea of an audio app that uses #ActivityPub to be part of the #Fediverse is excellent.
Any suggestions on where to host a #podcast?
P. S. I just discovered @Castopod , an alternative to @funkwhale
I want to inspect which one is more stable, and if there are good servers as well. Feedback welcome!

@gubi This is something we are currently working on. We hope to have a solution for version 2.

🎉 Apple Podcasts now supports chapters—including the Podcasting 2.0 <podcast:chapters> tag!
This is the second time Apple has embraced a community-driven standard (after transcripts in March 2024), proving that the "not-invented-here" syndrome is NOT a fatality.
Chapters + transcripts = better discoverability, accessibility, and search for the entire podcast ecosystem.
The network effect is beginning. 🚀

Have you heard of @danb's https://isitreallyfoss.com/ ?
It evaluates if software is truly Free and Open Source - not just in license, but in practice. It checks for proprietary dependencies, build transparency, and whether users can actually compile from source.
This matters because true software freedom means you can run, study, modify, and distribute without barriers.
Castopod isn't listed yet, so we've opened an issue: https://codeberg.org/danb/isitreallyfoss/issues/132
