I switched. :-). People on Reddiy used to tell me no one would switch to Lemmy. Also look at Mastodon.
I also know some streamers that stream to both Twitch and their Owncast. To each their own. It’s here if folks become interested. Most don’t even know a self hosted option exists.
Props to you. Though, based on your stream description, you are more technical than most people, which is a huge barrier for entry. Even Mastodon is unattainable for most people.
Right, but how many casual streamers have a server or know how to SSH into it to even run the command? It’s only easy if you are already technical, even if the actual process is not complicated.
Anyone for Owncast here besides me? :-D

It’s self-hosted, so people that stream need to switch first, which is not happening.

I am technical, but here’s the installation for Owncast

That’s it. The rest is handled from a website front end like Twitch’s. But yes, it’s more than Twitch.
