Does anyone knows an opensource webradio server that uses activitypub? (I know funkwhale, but I find it more into music than into web radios). I’d like something like castopod but for radios. Thanks all

      Yes, I was looking for something like this. I think there isn’t a project like funkwhale or castopod to self host a web radio, I think I’ll start working on it. Does anyone have any advice to make this project possible?

        I think you might be going about this the wrong way. The thing is that streaming Internet radio is a protocol like activitypub, which the fediverse is built on in the forms of apps/platforms like mastodon and peertube. Internet radio already has apps, they’re called music players. Though I’m making some assumptions about your use case.

        Are you looking to host an Internet radio station and have it live on the fediverse? In that case you’re better off with joining a funkwhale instance, include a link to your radio station’s address in your bio or banner, along with posting discrete shows or segments as podcasts on your artist channel. If you’re looking for software to do that I suggest AzuraCast.

          I was looking at something like that. It doesn’t implement activitypub, but you can host multiple radio stations. I’ll make a website to put all these radios together and I’ll use AzuraCast as “backend”
