Anyone remember RPAN from reddit? Does the fediverse offer anything similar?
I miss RPAN! I could connect with my phone and stream any time, and there would be viewers, if only a few at times. Sometimes a lot though. It was great practice playing for an audience. Lots of great feedback and interactions, helped get me through the pandemic.
What's out there in the fediverse that's similar, if anything?
This is the first time I’ve ever heard something positive about RPAN. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.
I loved it :)
I didnt care for all the musicians and would instead watch regular people doing stuff or showing off parts of their lives, and get to occasionally ask them about their interests for example.
A chat with a tailor at work, someone showing off their farm, two random irish dudes in their living room, etc.
As long as I can properly disable it if it ever shows up on Lemmy, then I’m all for it. Reddit made it show up in my feed no matter how many times I clicked “hide”.
Good luck finding a solution!
Idk if it is what you're looking for, but there is Owncast. It's a federated alternative to Twitch, including support for the Fediverse.
I like their directory page. Presumably that shows current live streams from different instances. Having one place to go to see all streams seems key, casual viewers will not visit lots of different instances looking for streams.
Very nice, is there a client that integrates a chat room like Twitch?
Peertube has live streaming, not sure if there is a community like RPAN though.
Omg yessss, this would be amazing to bring back!
It might be pretty expensive to host something like that. Video encoding can get really expensive. I enjoyed RPAN's brief stay though.
