Just learned some wonderful news: Owncast, an open-source self-hosted live video and web chat server, is coming to the Fediverse via a NLnet NGIZero grant 🎉
Some of the ways they’ll federate:
Follow owncast instances and receive notifications.
Interop with #peertube so content shows in the UI, maybe searchable too.
Build highly customizable directories and communities around owncast instances.
Read more about it on Gabe Kangas blog in An Exciting Update about Owncast.
So I very happily added Owncast to the Activitypub Application Watchlist this morning 😃
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of “federation” and “universe”. It is a common, informal name for a federation of social network servers whose main purpose is microblogging, the sharing of short, public messages.
