I'm diving into #PodcastAP, subscribin to my podcast via #OPML export. Looking forward to finding out how it works right now - gettting notifications about new episodes and sharing those in the #fediverse.
I'll be happy when #podcast player apps support Podcast AP for managing my subscriptions across devices and apps. That might be a way out because those apps might consider subscriptions to be a lock in mechanism.
Since #PocketCasts was sold, I have a bad feeling about it.
I knew OPML only as a format where I export and migrate my podcast subscriptions; but it could be a great way to make a webpage of recommended blogs and podcasts that people can immediately subscribe to. The opml can even be styled. What if people share annotated OPML collections, rather than web rings? Will play around with this in the near future.
@inky@rra I’ve been using #OPML+XSLT to create website for a while now and I've been really happy with it.
The low-level tooling is amazing (xsltproc) but high-level tooling is not perfect for cross-platform editing.
On #macOS I use OmniOutliner by @OmniGroup , on Linux/FreeBSD I can use Electric Drummer by @davew , but I think there's a place for cross-platform improvement.
What bothers me is that some applications do link as MarkDown while others use <a> tag.
'AntennaPod is a podcast player that is completely open. The app is open-source and you can subscribe to any RSS feed. AntennaPod is built by volunteers without commercial interest, so it respects your privacy while giving you full control.'
Reading lists are such a good idea that I’m going to maintain reading lists of my own. It’s probably pretty easy to implement, but a feature of only a very few feed readers. So few that I don’t know what they are. #RSS#OPMLhttp://scripting.com/2023/10/21/143159.html
FeedLand is about to get the reading lists feature, and I’m going to use it a lot more when it lands on feedland.org. I still won’t be able to use it much because all feed subscriptions are public, and I pay for some, and would rather you didn’t know about some others. #RSS#OPML
Reading lists are now part of the hosted FeedLand product. My first reading list is of feeds I create. It’s powered by the fork of Drupal 7, Backdrop CMS. It works! #RSS#OPMLhttps://richard.eriksson.ca/blogosphere/opml
We should call them subscription lists instead of reading lists. That way, podcasts can be included without it feeling weird, not to mention any other type of media that can be enclosed in RSS feeds. #RSS#OPML
Does anyone know of a mobile podcasts app that would subscribe to (not just import) OPML feeds?
I'd like to manage my subscriptions in an RSS reader (inoreader) which will publish folder contents as OPML. I'd like a podcast app that automatically picks those up, without my having to download and reimport the OPML all the time.
So mein #RSSFeed in #OPML exportiert und dann fein säuberlich alles in #Friendica gefolgt und #Gruppen (zukünftig wohl #Circles)) einsortiert.
Mal schauen ob sich das bewährt. Wenn ja ist ein #RSSReader bei mir nicht mehr notwendig.
I've reached out to https://dm.hn and I think we're about to get a huge #OPML list of most of the blogs that were submitted to the original #HN thread!
I’ve exported my #Stitcher#OPML file to 2 apps, Overcast and Podbean.
Both have a Something called a playlist (can have multiple), Overcast’s afaict is NOT at all like Stitcher show categories.
Will hafta see if Podbean does that and try out #feedbin as well.
After late 2022’s migrate from bird to wooly mammoth or whale, and newbie pain, I’ll hafta see how patient I am w THIS migration. 2 months to try stuff out.
