    Shameless plug, if anyone here streams check out https://owncast.online/, it’s a self-hosted fediverse twitch alternative that I’ve really enjoyed, and the community is really nice. (No ads, too) If you feel comfortable setting up a docker container you can stream on the fediverse, and people on mastodon/other services can sub to you. (and if you want to see what it’s like, you can see my instance here: https://owncast.scrubbles.tech/ )

      Doesn’t this take up quite a lot of bandwidth if you have a lot of viewers?

        This was an interesting question, so I took a quick dive in the docs, it seems it has an S3 integration to help with it, and some comments on the various supported services

        Still, depending on the chosen provider and the amount of viewers, it could be quite costly
