    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/ )

        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

        As everything, a big “it depends”. Each viewer will eat more bandwidth, but you control the compression and qualities. For me, I have an unlimited fiber uplink, so it’s quite easy for me to self host. If someone were more bandwidth constrained, then hosting it on a cloud that then has much more egress may help - at a cost of course, but then your own personal internet would only have the one outgoing stream. Finding a provider that has super cheap egress traffic would probably help

        If you have a data cap… well… not a lot you can do.

      I’m trying to open your link but I get a Lemmy page saying this link does not exist. Is it a voyager app thing?

      Advertising, yes but in this case I’ll allow it

        Thanks, I knew I was skirting the rule, but I’m on a constant strive to convince people to move to fediverse alternatives. Appreciate the exception, and won’t make a habit of it.
