[Meta] Welcome, and please give any feedback on what you'd like to see on a livestreaming community!
I decided to start this community, as you can guess, because of the twitch drama right now. I have a small circle that is talking about it, but I realize the depths of these discussions would be well suited for things like lemmy. I don't really know if there's a huge amount of people here who stream (or like watching streams), but I thought I'd make this in case there was.
I aim for this to be both a fun place and a good resource for information related to streaming. It seems like there might be more tech shakeups happening, it could effect livestreaming, and it would be nice to have a place to go when news like this hits.
The feedback/help I'm looking for is:
- complete collection of open source softwares and platforms/sites. I'm sure there's some unknowns.
- should we make guides for starting streaming on different platforms and link them in the sidebar?
- agree on how and when self promotion can happen. I dislike when it's so strict you can't even allude to yourself or show a VOD, but if this became a dumping ground of self promo posts it would be awful.
- any neat suggestions?
- are you going to have any issue with us discussing camgirls?
