I think this will be a struggle.
In Lemmy terms, everyone here is a 'Person', sending a 'Note' activity for the
[email protected]'Group'.With Castopod, it classes your podcast as a 'Person', and each episode as a 'PodcastEpisode'.
If Castopod classed your podcast as a Group, the same as PeerTube does for video channels, then integration would be relatively easy. A Group for a podcast would make more sense to me, but FunkWhale have made similar decisions, probably due to the dominance of Mastodon within the Fediverse.
As mentioned, you could probably tag your episodes with the address of a pre-existing Group (e.g. a community on Lemmy), but that pre-supposes that Lemmy knows what to do with the 'PodcastEpisode' type (a quick look on their GitHub suggests that it currently doesn't)
Afaik nutomic recently improved federation interoperability with projects like WordPress that use "Person" instead of "Group". But idk the technical details for that.
