This is great.

I also really enjoyed the ZBD social tab initially, but I abandoned it when they stopped supporting zaps.

I don't know why you're having such struggles with Fountain, but I strongly encourage everyone to switch over to it. All of the normal podcasts I listen to are on there, although most aren't set up to receive sats.

Someone on SN helped me get an issue fixed on Fountain, so maybe someone will help you solve your issue.
