This is one (extra) reason why every podcast hosting solution should use "?_from=" query string.
(Thank you @jamescridland for the investigation.)
Of course Castopod uses it and relies on opawg/podcast-rss-useragents for that. 😉

Before you jump into the weekend, don't forget: this Monday April 26 10 am CEST we are excited to have a 2nd webinar on #ActivityPub for administrations!
Together w @cwebber & #fediverse enthusiasts ( creators of Matrix-bridge #Kazarma, podcast solution @Castopod & others) we explore how ActivityPub works and its exciting evolution ( & hopefully convince public institutions to join the fediverse )
Want to know more? Check out the agenda here -> https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/pub/ec-ngi0-liaison-webinars-and-workshop-april-2021 and join us!
It's starting NOW: @NGIZero breaks down walls: decentralize social networking with ActivityPub

@agates @WClayFerguson @benjaminbellamy The follower is an Actor, and its type is determined by the "type" property. It can be a Person, an Application, a Group, an Organization or a Service. https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#actor-types
(Mastodon doesn't recognize any other type for now)
So, just throwing ideas here: for podcasting, we could use a new "type" (say PodcastListener for example) or add a new boolean property to the Actor of type "Person" to determine that (probably best).
@WClayFerguson @agates @benjaminbellamy I think it can be done in parallel, on the one hand we could document how to interface podcasts the hacky way (though the only possible way for now) with the fediverse, and on the other hand we could explore interactions between podcast hosts and apps using the new extended specs.
Dear #fediverse and especially #foss and #activitypub tech enthusiasts amongst you ..
At #SocialHub we're preparing a great event in the form of two webinars and a workshop in April, for representatives of the European Commission.
The topics are #ActivityPub #Interoperability and #FediverseFutures within the EU.
Interest for the event came from EC itself, who via @NGIZero - funder of many great AP projects - approached SocialHub to organize.
You can help prepare and certainly join the Event!
@agates @benjaminbellamy @martin @dave @adam @bjoreman @theDanielJLewis @brianoflondon @jamescridland Hello all 👋 I went ahead and created a kind of explainer on how all of it would work on the new Podcastindex-org repo: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/activitypub-spec-work/pull/1
Join the @NGIZero webinar next Monday at 10am Central European Summer Time! 🌞

@disruptionpr Le podcast comme réseau social avec ActivityPub en plus du RSS, un concept tout à fait disruptif de @Castopod @nitot tu devrais jeter un œil pour l'octet vert 👌
Hello @samsethi, @dave & @adam.
I was listening to Episode #31 (Cooking with Gas) and I heard you talking about “timestamped comments”: this is on already on @Castopod's roadmap. Castopod already allows comments on an episode thanks to ActivityPub protocol. In a next version you'll be able to specify a timestamp, either by manually adding [hh:mm:ss] in your comment (eg. “1:34:15 GO PODCASTING! 🗣️ ”) or automatically thanks to the client you're using.
Castopod is an open-source hosting platform made for podcasters who want engage and interact with their audience on the Fediverse .
Castopod is “Podcasting 2.0” certified.
