Castopod :podcasting2: boosted

After reading about a major #Funkwhale instance shutting down, I'm wondering whether I should keep my podcast on open.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!
