Why not use https://castopod.org/ ? It is also federated via ActivityPub and specifically made for Podcasts.
Because if you're already running (or want to run) a PeerTube instance you can save yourself from having to setup and maintain another thing.
It doesn't support video
Since when do podcasts have video?
Since shortly after their inception. ~2003
That's not a podcast then 🙄
How is it not?
It doesn't fit the definition of a podcast then.
Sure, some podcasters also upload their podcasts on video sites, but if the video is a vital part of it and you can't just listen to it, then it doesn't qualify as a podcast.
It doesn't fit the definition of a podcast then.
Again I ask, how does it not?
you can't just listen to it, then it doesn't qualify as a podcast.
You can.
If you need to pay attention to what is on the screen, it is you know, a video and not a podcast. But I feel we are not getting anywhere here and you are just being contrarian for some silly reason 🤷
virtually every major podcast also records video. you can record video, and audio, and still release those together, or separately on different platforms, or for different sub tiers, patrons, etc. and its still considered a podcast.
ive just read your whole spat, and the only person in this exchange who has actually been contrarian (by its definition) has been you.
lets not gate keep a gate that doesnt exist. its pointless.
I'm being contrarian? What does that make you?
You just keep saying the same nonsense over and over and refusing to back it up in any way.
So .. I've been making a weekly podcast for over 14 years. For all that time I've had complete control over my own content by hosting all the audio, the transcripts, the website and the RSS feeds on an AWS S3 bucket for a couple of dollars per month.
I submitted the RSS feed to several aggregators like iTunes, Spotify, YouTube and others. There's eBooks, I send out weekly email, post on Mastodon and Lemmy (previously on Xitter and Reddit) and it's included in other podcasts, news broadcasts and magazines.
How is adding PeerTube adding anything except more cost to me? What is the benefit of this that goes beyond people using their preferred podcast player downloading the audio from my own existing platform?
This guide outlines how to start a podcast for people who are already running PeerTube.
I perfectly agree, RSS has always worked, and is federated, in a better way than even activitypub, as pretty much each podcast is on the servers of the owners, and that the clients do the aggregation.
If you actually read the OP, PeerTube podcasts are ALSO distributed via RSS.
A community to talk about the Fediverse and all it's related services using ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, KBin, etc).
