A podcast where technology links into just enjoying your life. Who knows what we’ll accomplish?! Inspired by Linux, BSD, Open Source and FOSS. Part of https://james.network and Living Cartoon Company If you are interested an episode and want to send me thoughts please email: [email protected] The show is subject to change, depending on how it is received. No sponsors, no hard commitments, just frustration and fun.

I’ve setup my own federated podcast through Castopod, but unsure of how to federate it with Lemmy directly. It is project-focused around FOSS tooling and just enjoying life. X-posted to selfhosted and technology communities.

Any suggestions on better integrating it with Lemmy, Mastodon and other services? Relay servers were mentioned to me, but I haven’t messed with them yet. This article on joinfediverse wiki, https://relaylist.com/ and Fedi Tips guide are what I’m working through understanding. Thanks!

    unsure of how to federate it with Lemmy directly

    I think this will be a struggle.

    In Lemmy terms, everyone here is a ‘Person’, sending a ‘Note’ activity for the fediverse@lemmy.world ‘Group’.
    With Castopod, it classes your podcast as a ‘Person’, and each episode as a ‘PodcastEpisode’.

    If Castopod classed your podcast as a Group, the same as PeerTube does for video channels, then integration would be relatively easy. A Group for a podcast would make more sense to me, but FunkWhale have made similar decisions, probably due to the dominance of Mastodon within the Fediverse.

    As mentioned, you could probably tag your episodes with the address of a pre-existing Group (e.g. a community on Lemmy), but that pre-supposes that Lemmy knows what to do with the ‘PodcastEpisode’ type (a quick look on their GitHub suggests that it currently doesn’t)

      Afaik nutomic recently improved federation interoperability with projects like WordPress that use “Person” instead of “Group”. But idk the technical details for that.

    You might be able to integrate into lemmy by adding your podcast rss into a lemmy community made for your podcast. Lemmy users could subscribe to the community and follow/discuss there. Feels like a redundant suggestion if your cms already supports activity pub, but as far as lemmy integration that’s the only way I can think might work.

    Might be a stupid question but how do I save a post to have as reference for later use? I’m on the Sync app for reference

      Do you mean within Lemmy? You click the save button (looks like a Star to me) in the menu directly below that post afaik.

      Ah yes. Taking “ignorance is bliss” to a whole new meaning.

      "I was happy being dumb! Now I’m a little smarter. I’m smart enough to know how dumb I am! I don’t like it!!!

        That actually sounds very similar to a supervisor i worked for explaining the ideal machinist candidate to hire: They gotta be smart enough to do the job, but dumb enough to stick around once they realize they’re able to machine anything we throw at them.
