Why not just use Antennapod?

[–] riot@fedia.io 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The answer is in the article:

As I mentioned in my post about the apps I kept when switching to GrapheneOS, self- hosting PinePods and using AntennaPod on your phone is a great option! That way you can still have web and desktop sync. I also said in that post:

If I wasn't grandfathered into the free premium tier I would be more tempted to jump ship.

The time to jump ship seems to be getting closer. I think Pocket Casts will join a future version of my apps that I got rid of when switching to GrapheneOS post.

Sorry...I totally missed that part of the article 😊 I was also on the free premium tier and got dissapointed with how they changed stuff.

I use antennapod for listening but I've previously payed for pocketcast and I still think it's better for finding new podcasts to listen to.

[–] vahirua@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, it might be a slightly better app but after I switched I didn't really miss pocketcasts at all. I realized that for me the most important feature was to be able to sync between devices :)

It even has multiple sync options (like Nextcloud), so I can keep listening on my PC with KDE Kasts if I so choose.

I like the UI more. It has the web player when you pay and while you can self host something like it its more expensive in the long run if you value your time and don't enjoy it (so its not a fun hobby).
