Fixed - we truncate nostr notes because they are clickable through to the thread page - I've disabled this for non-nostr boosts.

@nprofile…4m66 can you send me one of these onchain zaps - curious about the receive experience - will zap you back NIP-57

Hi - it looks like keysend payments to your node ([email protected]) are intermittently failing.
For the top boost example on this episode - the 4,242 sats were sent by @nprofile…n59y with an NWC wallet connected to Fountain. When splits fail on a boost from an NWC wallet - we refund the split amount to the Lightning Address of the connected NWC wallet - and I can see the refund was processed so @nprofile…n59y should see a 4,284 refund payment in their NWC wallet - I can share the invoice and preimage for the refund if that's helpful.
The status of each payment split should be visible in the Fountain wallet for NWC transactions - so any user can check in the app and should see a REFUNDED status for any splits that failed. Transaction Reference IDs are also available on the transaction detail page.
If you would like me to check other specific examples - please send an email to [email protected] with the Transaction Reference ID and I can check them for you.
Let me know if that all makes sense.

Yep we have a full podcast hosting platform that distributes to all podcast apps - but is also integrated with nostr for zaps / comments / livestreams that work on any supporting apps.
Happy to give you a demo just ping me an email!

All good points.
We are not going to deprecate keysend anytime soon and as especially not as long as there are still lots of feeds using it - however I do believe the lack of wallet adoption means it will eventually fade.
In terms of artist's running their own nodes - I get the appeal of keysend but the reality is the majority of artists I speak to will never do this - they need wallets that are easy to onboard to and easy to use - and all the new wallets coming out that provide this ux and easy onboarding do not support keysend.
Out of interest - how do you approach the conversation with new artists? What wallets do you recommend?

2026-05-05 16:06:22 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…n2l0 I think I know what's going wrong - the value time splits are working but the remote feed / item metadata is not being sent properly - I am working on a fix and will let you know when resolved.

2026-05-05 15:20:43 UTC

- reply

@nprofile…n2l0 I am looking into this for you - and I can confirm that value time splits are working as normal.
Can you please let me know what exact keysend TLV info helipad requires to render the remote track references?
(also keysend is dead - no new wallets support it - we will eventually deprecate it)

Fountain 1.5 is now live with a brand new trending feed showcasing which episodes and music your nostr network find valuable.
The new trending feed combines different signals to rank notes including zap value, reactions, and recency to highlight a broad set of recommendations.
We’ve also re-written the backend so feed queries along with comments, threads, and profiles now load much faster.
I’d love to hear your feedback on the new trending feed - especially if you think anything’s missing or we could give more weight to certain things.

What version of the app are you using?

2026-03-09 16:20:26 UTC

- reply

Yes you can always download the latest APK from our website - http://fountain.fm/apk
One thing to note is that if you're switching between Play Store version and APK sometimes you need to delete the app first - you won't lose your library when doing this - only downloaded audio.
Let me know if you're still having issues and I can investigate further.

2026-03-07 17:59:05 UTC

This is the first report like this for the 1.4.9 version. Can you try going to your storage settings and clearing the library cache and see if that helps?
Also did you install from the Google Play store?

Yes it is a bit hidden - we've considered playing video by default for episodes with video - but I'm not 100% sure it's the right approach - will try and make the switch to video option more obvious.
On Amber signer - we're aware of an issue that sometimes can affect the remote signer if signing is not set to automatic - we have a fix that should be live in the next 48 hours - version 1.4.9

- On app links - these seem to work fine for me on iOS - are you on iOS or Android? Could you share an example link that didn't work?
- On sats per minute - the minimum is currently 10 sats per minute but we will definitely consider lowering it if (when) the bitcoin price rises considerably
- On playback speed granularity - it's on our roadmap to add more granular options
- On Bluetooth headphone controls - what kind of customisation would you like?

What makes podcasting special is choice - you can listen in any app - and creators can host anywhere or even self-host.
Recently we've seen more podcasters recording video - and last week Apple Podcasts announced they will soon add support for video podcasts.
But what we don't want to see with video podcasts is more walled gardens with platform lock-in.
The good news - there is already an open standard for delivering video versions of episodes - the RSS <podcast:alternateEnclosure> tag. If you host your podcast with Fountain - the video versions of episodes use this tag meaning any app can ingest the video and offer listeners the option to switch to video right from the player.
Apple have historically been good stewards of open podcasting - and I hope that they will adopt the alternate enclosure tag with their video implementation.
In the meantime Fountain will keep building on open standards and demonstrate how video podcasts and other new Podcasting 2.0 features can be built in an open way - https://blog.fountain.fm/p/video-podcasts
We're committed to making the Fountain app the best listening experience for podcasts - please tag me anytime if you have feedback on how we can improve!

@nprofile…62he since Wavlake don't support feed redirects - the best thing for Artists if they want to switch to self-hosting is to delete their content from Wavlake after they've setup new feeds on Music Side Project.
However if not done correctly this creates another issue of duplicate artist profiles in Fountain and other apps. Maybe Music Side Project could have an "Import from Existing Feed" function that maintains the publisher, album, and track guids?
The most important thing is that the guids stay the same - if this is the case we can resolve duplicates on our side easily without losing any of the nostr data.

This should be fixed on the latest version 1.4.8 - can you let me know if you are seeing any issues on this version?
On sharing to nostr - we removed this option as we're working on more native sharing flow that should be coming soon - for now you can share either the link or the video natively by saving it and then posting from your main nostr client.

The NIP-84 spec says this:
"A comment tag may be added to create a quote highlight. This MUST be rendered like a quote repost with the highlight as the quoted note. This is to prevent the creation and multiple notes (highlight + kind 1) for a single highlight action, which looks bad in micro-blogging clients where these notes may appear in succession."
Based on this your highlight share would appear twice in client feeds that follow the spec?
Not saying one way is better than the other but would be great to have alignment between clients on the proper way to share highlights to feeds.
