Removing fyyd makes me a bit sad…
Years ago I often used fyyd to upload small podcasts so they can be found in AntennaPod, too. For example, some “underground” tech podcasts that refused to join the iTunes index.
Anyway I understand your reasons and nowdays I suppose “podcast index” is a better choice
That was gpodder.net. fyyd is managed fully manually.
That looks more like a problem introduced during AntennaPod dependency updates, not like an API problem.
Maybe. In my experience, it works quite well especially for German podcasts (where we have our largest user base). Maybe we can retire it as part of our default search engine but I wouldn’t throw it out completely for now.
