An article can be made directly boostable with #ActivityPub. I call it #APnative and WordPress and Ghost already allow us to publish that way. I desperately want this to happen with podcasts too. Perhaps such that we use AP in addition or instead of RSS as the base of the format.

Can content that works with #ATproto live outside of a PDS? (I'm not sure I'm even asking the question correctly)

@wjmaggos @mackuba Wait, wait. If you install a plugin called "pod love", or "podcast love" I don't remember, which creates an "episode" content type. You go to ActivityPub, plugin I mean, and flag "episode" together with "posts" as content which can federate. It should work!

Distinguishing between podcasts is missing, though.

Let's assume you have a site where you talk about sports. You review ANY kind of sports.

The only way to perform a single topic to follow, is creating an author for each podcast "volley @ super sport . ext" or "tennis" or "soccer" etc.

Then you can set your display name to "William" but you'll miss the opportunity to distinguish author bio and podcast description.

Otherwise, with a single author, you run the risk of having follower interested in volley, who receive soccer as well. It's not functional.

Podcast on ActivityPub? There's CastoPod - https://castopod.org
