Opt out of follower count display
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
When I migrate an existing podcast to Castopod, my follower count is, by definition, zero. It will take time to collect followers. Rightly or wrongly, people interpret follower count as a popularity metric. I would like to remove the follower count from the landing page of my podcast.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to opt in/out of follower count displays. I'm fine with lower follower counts in other contexts (Mastodon for instance), but not really thrilled with it being displayed on the landing page, especially when the vast majority of my listeners aren't on Mastodon (yet).
Describe alternatives you've considered
I've edited the references to followers_count
here:
./themes/cp_app/episode/_layout.php: 'numberOfFollowers' => '02906', # $podcast->actor->followers_count,
./themes/cp_app/podcast/_layout.php: 'numberOfFollowers' => '02906', $podcast->actor->followers_count,
./themes/cp_app/podcast/unlock.php: 'numberOfFollowers' => '02906', $podcast->actor->followers_count,
This isn't a great solution.
