One project Podverse would be interested in is improving our Sphinx/Manticore search algorithm. We have a search engine that works minimally…but does no fuzzy matching whatsoever. Creon and I have no idea how to improve this, but the code itself is pretty concise if someone with more expertise could advise and/or code some improvements for us.

Could anyone explain the difference between...?

<itunes:subtitle>
<description>
<content:encoded>
<itunes:summary>

I had the impression that <itunes:subtitle> was a very short summary, and that <description> and <itunes:summary> meant the same thing, as in a full-length summary...but we've noticed some podcasts use the <itunes:subtitle> and <description> as both very short summaries.

Example: the Linux Unplugged RSS feed https://feeds.fireside.fm/linuxunplugged/rss

Want to support podcast:socialInteract with ActivityPub in your feed for standards-based episode comments, but let's be honest, you don't want to mess with Mastodon?

Check out https://thread.land

This is a project I started a while ago, but dusting off again today. Not finished yet, but unveiling here to develop in the open and gauge interest.

No signup, you generate a unique prefix url for your podcast, then construct a root post url from that for every episode you want to have comments

Hi @adam @dave
Just made this little showcase of podcasting 2.0 chapters in AntennaPod. Mind if I use it on our social media channels for the promo of our new feature?

An observation I'm sure you all have made alredy, but it relates to the utility of Boostagram 'monitors' depending on tiny splits; you may never see them.

I decided to jump in 'heavy' with @getAlby and use their wallets for my podcast instead of my home node. But, I have Helipad running on my home node.

I was cheaply self-boosting from @podverse and noticed no Boostagrams coming in. @mitch 's ever-helpful UI notes that splits < 10 sats won't fly. Makes sense.

Alby shows the tag guts now so...
