Podcast Subscription tab
What is the problem you are facing?
Recently open.audio made a call to the community about the desire to attract Podcasters to Funkwhale https://blog.funkwhale.audio/~/Announcements/hosting-your-podcast-for-free-on-funkwhale-open.audio/ Currently, the user interface lacks some key features to make this a more inviting and useful platform. The simplest solution would be the addition of a subscriptions tab on the left side of the server homepage.
Alternatively this could be labelled "Podcasts"
Usability is obviously of great importance, this would make it obvious that it has this functionality/use case. Podcasting has become a major platform for arts, entertainment, news and education. Funkwhale is one of the missing pieces of the puzzle for creators to make the transition away from proprietary/closed platforms such as Soundcloud. Especially with it's deep ties to the larger Fediverse.
What are the possible drawbacks or issues with the requested changes?
This change would be an addition to the current interface and I can see no negative effect of this.
