The Podcast Index has an ActivityPub implementation, and now I can follow some of my more irreverent non-techie podcasts directly on the fediverse. So cool! Hopefully they'll add a Follow button soon...but in the meantime:
Find your podcast on the site
Grab the numeric value at the end of the url
Search for the podcast with this name {numericValue}@ap.podcastindex.org
Friendica already allows to follow any RSS feed and quote-share any post from it. Are there more functionalities available with this AP thingy? Is there a way to retrieve an older post?
It also seems that for a podcast published with castopod (for example @projetslibres ), this new AP representation (for example @6304634 ) is a separate account. Maybe there should be a way for a platform to tell the index that it already uses AP. I think this would be needed before adding a follow button, so that a user does not follow the wrong actor.
