   I wish I had somebody else seriously involved with Owncast. It would be amazing to have somebody to share things with, positive or negative. But there's nobody else in the world who cares, or even understands the nitty gritty day to day that I can talk to. I'm sure there's people who would listen, but nobody would _care_.

     @darnell @gabek @syuilo @Gargron @owncast I honestly feel the same way about Pixelfed, it would be really nice to have more maintainers on board.

     @gabek What about brainstorming with @syuilo, @Gargron & @dansup in order to figure out how to integrate #Owncast with #Misskey, #Mastodon & #Pixelfed, respectively.

     It would be great if the #Fediverse had a live streaming option that worked across various platforms.

     Maybe something similar to #Jitsi but powered by @owncast that allowed for group calls between all of the #ActivityPub platforms‽

     @mh In this case I mean caring in the most literal sense. Just like if somebody I knew wanted to talk to me about sports. I'd politely listen, but I inherently don't personally care. I'm not invested, I can't add to the conversation. It's not that I don't care about the person, but some things aren't your thing. With Owncast, even if somebody cares about me, they don't care about it. It's not their thing. They don't get it. You'd get a "sounds like a rough time!" or "sounds like fun!" and that's about it. Just how I'd respond to somebody's story about a sports team.

     @gabek "Nobody cares" sounds a bit like depression.

     Sometimes a "mere friendship" precludes a "caring" relationship if nurtured.

     Some people who "really care" know they don't have the skills or time needed to do anything but slow things down.

     @mh It is kind of like that, yeah. Oddly enough I've found that since so many people do work in tech here it's often purposefully a topic that doesn't come up between people in social settings. There are people I know who work in tech but I have no idea what specifically they do.

     @gabek This reminds me of just being a programmer when most of my friends and family are in very different professions. It's tough to share much about your day, every day. You probably don't have that problem to the same degree in the Bay Area.

     @Joseph_of_Earth Yeah, it's tough to have any kind of consistent community. I'm lucky to have drive-by contributors being a part of the project, and I'm immensely thankful. But it's different than having a partner to talk to, to help plan, who understands what's going on.

     @gabek are you struggling with developing a community around Owncast development? I think it's a super interesting project and would like to learn more, but I'm just a layperson.

     @dansup @darnell @gabek @syuilo @Gargron @owncast it's the curse of #foss, everyone likes using the software, but maintaining it? Oh ho nononononono...

     #NodeBB is much the same, two core contributors, and a nice bunch of helpful folks on our community forum as a sounding board.

     I'm excited to get NodeBB on the #fediverse to open things up a bit 😅
