How can I use Funkwhale to spred our Podcast Content on recent plattforms

FemLab

Hello dear community. Just heard of Funkwhale today and would like to be able to share our Podcast Content on recent plattforms for example Spotify and co. But the Site https://docs.funkwhale.audio/users/followchannel.html#following-funkwhale-channels-through-podcast-apps
seems to be ofline. Can you help me to understand the Funkwhale idea and how I can spread our content?
Thank you,
Nicole & FemLab

Hi FemLab, you can access the documentation at https://docs.funkwhale.audio/stable/users/followchannel.html#following-funkwhale-channels-through-podcast-apps. We are fixing the documentation URLs at the moment.

Hi @FemLab, nice to have you!

At first, Funkwhale is a software to build a federated publication platform. This means if you want to upload your content and make it available, you need to find yourself an so called instance or pod, where Funkwhale is installed and where you can upload your podcast. We are hosting https://open.audio, which is welcoming people sharing their podcasts for free iirc.

If you have an account, you can follow the guide to create a channel: https://docs.funkwhale.audio/stable/users/channels.html#creating-a-channel

You can upload your episodes there.

Since we are using open standards, you will get an RSS feed, which might be the go-to solution to distribute your content also on itunes, spotify and all those other commercial, gated platforms. But I don't know about them 😃
