It's a pity there is no official #owncast app for android.

https://fedi.tips/owncast-live-streaming-and-chat-on-the-fediverse/

...this is very cool!

So...we have:

#owncast not #twitch
#mastodon not #twitter or #threads
#pixelfed not #instagram
#peertube not #youtube
#loops not #tiktok
#friendica not #facebook
#matrix not #whatsapp
#revolt not #slack or #discord
#libreoffice not #microsoft

Give #bluesky a pass (investor-owned)

You could do this by embedding the RSS feed of a hashtag on a particular server.

This would require your website or blog platform to have some kind of RSS embedding capability, or else you would have to add such a thing with an add-on or script.

About feed addresses, the RSS feed of #OwnCast on your server would be https://mastodon.social/tags/owncast.rss

Is there a way to embed a hashtag?

For instance if I follow "#Owncast" can I then embed that feed?

You're looking for an replacement of #Twitch? Maybe @owncast is something for you.

A (hopefully good) comparison of decentralised video sharing platforms like @loops, @peertube and @owncast to centralised platforms like Youtube and Tiktok went online yesterday.

If I was to live stream with this, how accessible would #OwnCast be vs. #StreamYard ? I've kinda never done this before, but I'm sure people will want me to start streaming at some point to, um, fill their time? I ask because I'm #BlindSinceBirth and use the #NVDA screen reader fulltime on #Windows11 #24h2

In case you missed it, the Fediverse's livestreaming platform OwnCast has official apps:

iPhone, iPad, Apple TV
https://apps.apple.com/app/owncasts/id6451178968

📺 Roku
https://channelstore.roku.com/details/2179326b6b85869a1a3a18d48ca76de6/owncasts

You don't have to use these though, all of OwnCast's features are available through the web.

(OwnCast is like the Fediverse's alternative to Twitch, it's a livestreaming platform with a built-in chat service. More info at https://fedi.tips/owncast-live-streaming-and-chat-on-the-fediverse)

some of us from #fediwave are testing @delta chat. if you want to try, send a DM and we'll send you the invite link to a small fediwave group chat.

(edit: fediwave is musicians-active-on-fediverse, often using #owncast and other self-hosted floss tools, anti-SILOs)

btw, #deltaChat works by using email - you can get one dedicated to deltaChat or use your existing email inbox. and yes, it's E2EE.

Delete your #Facebook and go join #Friendica instead. Trust me you'll have a better time, and still enjoy the same features for the most part.

Delete your #Instagram and go join #Pixelfed. It has a lot of the same features and it is free, doesn't have ads, and isn't run by a corporation.

Delete your #Threads, #Bluesky, or #Twitter account, and go join #Mastodon. Trust me you won't miss anything from them since Mastodon is a lot like them without the ads, or the corporate shittyness.

Go try out #LoopsVideo instead of #TikTok. It is shaping up to be a great alternative to TikTok.

Go try out #PeerTube it is a lot like #YouTube, and it doesn't have ads, nor any of the crap that comes from being owned by #Google.

Go try out #OwnCast it is a lot like #Twitch, but it is more free and doesn't have ads ruining the live streams.

Are you at #UbuntuSummit and just happen to have nothing going on at 12:00? Boy do I have good news for you! Join me in the Sigma room to talk about open source livestreaming with #owncast.

Just saw somebody spin up a new #Owncast server and said "If I’m gonna pay to play, ima pay for my own server".

What a great way to put it. I love that.

Also look into stuff that's available on the Internet archive. There's loads of good stuff in the public domain. Most days I just sit and watch RetroStrange on #owncast

It's that time of year again, #Hacktoberfest is approaching!

#Owncast is encouraging people to participate by offering our own t-shirts on top of the regular Hacktoberest shirt!
