@dothewoo.io is now on the #fediverse
This may be the reference implementation of #podcasts in #WordPress blogs and i hope that more podcasts will follow this example.
@BobWP @derekahanson It was fun working with you on that
And kudos to the @Mastodon team, the audio player is pretty neat!!!
@pfefferle @dothewoo.io @BobWP @derekahanson @Mastodon not sure what the blog post means by being the first, but @wikipediapodden has been releasing podcasts on the Fediverse through self-hosted WordPress and the ActivityPub plug-in for many months (most from @ainali@wikipediapodden.se).
@ainali@social.coop @dothewoo.io @BobWP @derekahanson @Mastodon @wikipediapodden @ainali@wikipediapodden.se oh nice! wasn't aware of that!
@ainali@social.coop thanks for sharing that! I think the main difference here is that @pfefferle has developed a feature for ActivityPub to send the actual audio to Mastodon so you can play the podcast episode IN the Mastodon post.
I see @ainali@wikipediapodden.se posts a link to download the file or URL to the audio.
@derekahanson @ainali@social.coop Oh, I see! Let me know if I can help @ainali@wikipediapodden.se to better promote the audio!
@derekahanson @ainali@social.coop @ainali@wikipediapodden.se if every post on your blog should prioritize audio over other attachments, you could try it with:
```
add_filter( 'filter_media_by_object_type', function( $type ) {
return 'audio';
} );
```
@pfefferle oh, I'll try that. Where should I put it?
@ainali phew
do you use a child theme? then you could add it to the functions.php there.
or you can try adding at to the wp-config.php (somewhere at the end of the file).

I'm doing something similar but can't figure out why episodes show up so differently.
I want a podcatcher that will let us subscribe to an AP account as easily as we do to a podcast feed, giving us the capacity to easily boost episodes and comment on them. a podcatcher that reads our social graph and handles episodes seamlessly. so much potential here. then do the same with articles and videos. thanks for your work on all this.
@wjmaggos @derekahanson @ainali@social.coop @ainali@wikipediapodden.se @home the plugin finds only a "download URL" as media URL and Mastodon seems to have problems with that.
@wjmaggos @derekahanson @ainali@social.coop @ainali@wikipediapodden.se @home the problem is, that every podcast integration seems to work differently and we have to tweak a lot to have a unique experience on mastodon/the fediverse :(
