@DiWoWo Larix Broadcaster has been used in the past and seems to work pretty well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wmspanel.larix_broadcaster

@bloodaxe It does seem like the majority of people who use Owncast keep their instances private. So while I believe the number of people who use Owncast for a variety of live streaming needs is increasing, the number of people doing "Twitch-style" streaming are fewer.

@hamishtpb Looks like it's a small display bug. If you refresh the page you'll see the actual status of that toggle. Thanks!

@majorlinux Hopefully this should point you in the right direction: https://owncast.online/docs/embed/#embedding-read-only-chat

@SweetAmelia I'm not sure if it's helpful with what you're looking for, but here's some details about Owncast chat moderation. https://owncast.online/docs/chat/moderation/

@DopeGhoti @captaincalliope Each microblogging platform has their own features of what, and how, they render content inline. Mastodon, however, will render an Owncast stream in the timeline if you share the URL. For example: https://lyre.live/

It's a long time in the making. A new release of #Owncast is available.

@atomicpoet I'm feeling like I must have offended you in some way in the past. If that's the case I apologize. I don't know why you have such feelings to go on the offensive.

If you're asking in good faith, it's exactly as expensive as you want it to be for your use case. I don't know what your requirements are or your hosting options are, so I can't tell you what it would cost. It's like asking the price to run Nginx. It depends what you're doing with it.

@atomicpoet Sending out a message to 16k people saying running Owncast is expensive isn't helpful or accurate. I'm not sure why you'd want to spread FUD about the project. It's a piece of infrastructure that lets a lot of people do some really cool things. If it's not for you, that's fine, but I thought we were all on the same team.

Music going down at https://stream.princesspea.live/ if you'd like a chill soundtrack to your Saturday!

@ill_logic Building a new Android application would be a huge undertaking. Owncast is a very, very small project. Hopefully all that functionality are things you can already do from the web without a dedicated app.

@captaincalliope Sandstorm is new to me! Would you be at all interested in seeing if Owncast might be a fit for the Sandstorm app marketplace and what it would take to enable that?

Today is the three year anniversary of Owncast's first commit. I hoped a new release would be ready by "First Commit Day", but a little more time is needed. Thank you for your patience and support, here's to another three years!

@majorlinux Where can somebody sign up for hosting? I'd like to share that as an option for Owncast.

@doityourweb Lots of ways you can watch Owncast streams on your tv! https://owncast.online/docs/watching-on-tvs/

@schenklklopfer Single asterisks should be italic, and double should be bold according to the Markdown spec. https://www.markdownguide.org/cheat-sheet

@schenklklopfer I'm afraid you may have lost that battle, as Markdown is a standard way of working with plain text. Sorry about that!

@meljoann @shadowsminder If it's helpful at all, I'm really proud how LGBTQ+ streamers have taken to Owncast. I can't pretend to know the thoughts behind each streamer, but I love how much diversity there is on that front.

@Norobiik Sure! If you're looking to get up and running with Owncast there's a handful of different options! https://owncast.online/quickstart

@futureisfoss @tio Very cool!
