Can #podcasting be made to work with #ActivityPub as well as #RSS? Then podcatchers could work like a #Mastodon client, allowing us to interact directly via comments, favorites and spreading around the best episodes via boosts. #podcasts
update: it exists but no podcatcher fully supports it yet.

OK, this is cool:1. Look up a podcast on https://podcastindex.org/
2. Check the number at the end of the URL in your browser. Example: https://podcastindex.org/podcast/270016 -> 270016
3. Follow <number>@ap.podcastindex.org. For example, @270016 .
4. Get podcast updates over ActivityPub! Including audio!h/t @samsethi

in reply to william.maggos • • •I know that @samsethi, @theDanielJLewis and others are working on cross-app comments. A couple of apps already include this in some fashion. I think there are still a some bugs to work out.
I think listening would still be in an app, comments could be in-app, but potentially pushed to a federated location like Mastodon.
We have now exceeded the limits of my expertise.
