  @dave @UpBEATs Great thanks Dave! 🙌

  @ChadF Do you have a sense of how many music feeds there are without a corresponding artist publisher feed? I am working on re-doing some of our music indexing logic and excluding music feeds without publisher remote items would make things much simpler. From my perspective having an album feed without a publisher feed doesn't really make sense but maybe I'm excluding a lot of music?

  We will be performing some short maintenance on our payment services today between 4pm-5pm UTC. This will mean deposits, withdrawals, and support payments will be unavailable for about 30 minutes. Thanks for your patience. https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqst5wmnsckg2msmm5ng90pkuhkexe4h05cfkrh8tshfd63f39k9uxsq46u3p

  Is there any reason that still exists today for RSS feeds to have both the <description> and <content:encoded> tags at the item level? From my experience there is never any difference between the content in these tags. Does anyone know of apps / services that have a specific use case for different content in each tag?

  All boosts and comments sent from Fountain are published to nostr meaning anyone can query them and build anything using the data. https://onlyboosts.social/#boosts-global Shows + Episodes are canonically referenced using podcast guids: https://onlyboosts.social/about

  @dave FYI this music feed was marked as spam - https://podcastindex.org/podcast/8007515 I've marked it as legit now - any chance you could add some kind of rule to automatically mark Music Side Project feeds as legit based on the generator tag: <generator>MSP 2.0 - Music Side Project Studio</generator>

  Fountain 1.5 is now live with a brand new trending feed showcasing which episodes your network find valuable. The new trending feed combines different signals to rank notes including boost value, reactions, and recency. We’ve also re-written the backend so feed queries along with comments, threads, and profiles now load faster. I’d love to hear your feedback on the new trending feed - especially if you think we could give more weight to certain things. https://fountain.fm/blog/fountain-15---...

  @dave quick question on the API - this feed displays only 4 episodes - https://podcastindex.org/podcast/310504 But the API returns many more - which I think are old ones that are no longer in the feed. Is there some hidden 'deleted' field that you have in the database but not returned in the API response - if so would it be possible to add this to the API response? (/episodes/byfeedid)

  @dave have you noticed any issues with the index over the past few days - have had a few reports of feeds not updating. A couple of examples: https://podcastindex.org/podcast/869672 https://podcastindex.org/podcast/1000839

  We've been working on a re-design for the Fountain app over the past month - and I'm looking for a couple of people who would be interested in testing and giving some feedback on the new design - ideally you already use Fountain or have used it previously but switched away because you didn't like the design. Please let me know if you're interested in helping out!

  I've written an article / guide on how Fountain publishes podcast payment metadata using nostr - https://primal.net/merryoscar/open-podcast-payments-with-bitcoin-and-nostr I know not everyone's sold on nostr - but this approach is working today and allows podcast payments to display in other nostr clients (see example in the article) - there's no reason we can't have the same interop between podcast apps. I know @ChadF and @ericpp are experimenting which is grea...

  I know my previous nostr-based payment metadata solution didn't really get adoption from other PC20 apps - so me and @dovydas have come up with a much simpler solution for LNAddress payment metadata: https://github.com/Podcastindex-org/podcast-namespace/pull/734 TLDR - we use the BOLT11 invoice description field to add a rss::payment prefix along with a URL that returns the full metadata in a x-rss-payment header. From today all LNAddress payments sent from Fountain will use this meta...
