The Fediverse has its own Twitch-style livestreaming platform called OwnCast:

➡️ owncast.online
➡️ @owncast

Because they're both on the Fediverse, you can follow OwnCast accounts from Mastodon, and they will post in your home timeline when they go live.

For example @rstv is an OwnCast account that shows weird old films and television 24/7. You can watch the stream right now at live.retrostrange.com

There are more OwnCast accounts featured at directory.owncast.online

@feditips @owncast @rstv I feel like we need something like this that doesn't require everyone to host their own servers. It makes the barrier for entry way higher than Twitch streaming. Like a cross between this and PeerTube.

@feditips @owncast @rstv meh it doesn’t work for me 🤷‍♂️
So it goes on that growing list of “cool things people tell me about on here I can’t access”

I spun up a jail on my TrueNAS system, installed Owncast inside it, and it pretty much worked out of the box -- which is darned impressive.

Now I need to figure out how to enable VAAPI support inside a FreeBSD jail...
