I miss RPAN! I could connect with my phone and stream any time, and there would be viewers, if only a few at times. Sometimes a lot though. It was great practice playing for an audience. Lots of great feedback and interactions, helped get me through the pandemic.
What’s out there in the fediverse that’s similar, if anything?
As long as I can properly disable it if it ever shows up on Lemmy, then I’m all for it. Reddit made it show up in my feed no matter how many times I clicked “hide”.
Good luck finding a solution!
Idk if it is what you’re looking for, but there is Owncast. It’s a federated alternative to Twitch, including support for the Fediverse.
I like their directory page. Presumably that shows current live streams from different instances. Having one place to go to see all streams seems key, casual viewers will not visit lots of different instances looking for streams.
Very nice, is there a client that integrates a chat room like Twitch?

unfortunately my control over how youtube works is quite limited
C’mon, OP, closed mouths don’t get fed
We had a place a couple of months ago!
It was pretty sad.
You could always just live stream using Twitch or something and post a link here? Maybe create a c/RPAN for a similar effect.
Probably needs a new name, or just ‘PublicAccessNetwork’
PAF: Public Access Fedwork
I feel like FBS would work better
“Fediverse Broadcast Service”
Peertube has live streaming, not sure if there is a community like RPAN though.
Omg yessss, this would be amazing to bring back!
It might be pretty expensive to host something like that. Video encoding can get really expensive. I enjoyed RPAN’s brief stay though.
