Today I've published the initial version of PodcastAP (podcastap.com/).

Import an OPML or search for a Podcast or Music feed to follow on the Fediverse when logged in with a Mastodon or Pleroma account.

podcastap.comPodcast APWith PodcastAP, users on the Fediverse can search for and follow Podcast and Music feeds with their Mastodon or Pleroma account

@steven this is fantastic! I do have one concern though - I looked up a podcast I host on Castopod. As Castopod is built around AP, it already has a fediverse address, but podcastAP uses its own. As a podcaster I’d rather people follow the canonical address. Is this a gap in the spec, or is there a way we can do this now (e.g. by parsing a socialInteract tag on an item)? Once a podcast gets its own Fediverse identity, how will podcastAP switch to that?

@dwev @benjaminbellamy @yassinedoghri I just updated PodcastAP to link to feeds on Castopod.

I identify Castopod feeds when receiving the data from the index "generator" value.

If someone is already following a Castopod feed, I couldn't find a way from the data returned in the account to indicate it is hosted by Castopod. If you have an idea, I'd like to update it to detect the feeds from the existing following.

Example Account data from podcast.thelinuxexp.com/@tlene when I follow it.
