I know that offerings like @Castopod and @funkwhale enable you to host your own #activitypub powered #podcast feed.
But is there any service or software for translating *ANY* podcast feed into an ActivityPub account/feed? I've seen basic RSS to Fediverse account feed tools, but not ones specific for podcast-to-Fediverse enabling. Am I missing it
@Castopod @funkwhale @darius - just bumped into this, does it work with podcast RSS feeds well? https://github.com/dariusk/rss-to-activitypub
@tchambers @darius I haven’t looked at the code in detail, but one could modify it to look for podcast link tags and append a link to the audio (and cover and other things that Mastodon at least supports for audio attachments)
Note: Castopod supports imports https://blog.castopod.org/import-your-existing-podcast-into-castopod/ not sure if it supports synch like PeerTube supports YT synching
@boris @tchambers @darius we have a specific data type for Audio content in ActivityPub that Mastodon already supports.
@evan @tchambers @darius yes exactly.
The point being made was podcast feed to AP feed with audio attachment via eg Darius’ RSS posting script.
@boris @tchambers @darius understood. I'll quibble that Audio should be the main type, with the title in the `name` and the show notes in the `summary`, but I can live with a Note with an Audio attachment.
@evan @tchambers @darius PRs welcome ;)
