Owncast Stream whatever you want on your own platform and announce natively to the Fediverse!
IDK why but tons of folks think it's not feasible as they need million dollar computers. I've streamed to 70+ open streams, albeit as a test, on a like $5/month VPS. The key is that the resources needed are how many qualities you're transcoding, not how many folks are viewing. Yes bandwidth is needed for each viewer, but that's significantly less than people imagine.
Full transparency I run the !owncast community, but I'm in no way affiliated with the project. I just love open platforms and open source.
I've explored a few platforms within the Fediverse, but most of them seem to be inspired by and mimic existing mainstream social media platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook.

I stream on Owncast and really enjoy it. One of the easiest installations I've ever had with software. And despite what lots of folks think you don't need a million dollars to stream to groups of folks.
Full disclosure I run the !owncast community and actively promote it on Matrix if anyone is interested or need help. :-D
You CAN use OBS! I've started an Owncast community at !owncast if you'd like to check it out. If you're used to streaming to YT or Twitch or anything else, OBS is 100% the same, you just pointed it to your Owncast server. Obviously setting up the server is more work, but GabeK has made installation and configuration as easy as possible. It's pretty awesome imo.
Just wanted to share this here that I just set up a !owncast and wanted to invite folks to share their livestreams there or their favorite livestreamers focused on #Owncast . NSFW is allowed, but I ask that you tag is accordingly. Also I've never done modding a community so any suggestions/help would be appreciated....
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !owncast
What open-source software would you like more people to know about?
Are there any innovative platforms in the Fediverse?

You can define success any way you like. But I'm happy with the direction of the project, and I'm thankful for everyone who has helped make it happen.
