How good of an alternative is it to twitch? I’ve seen pretty less discussions about it compared to other fediverse platforms

    I’m just learning about owncast, is there any way to login or subscribe to people so I can come back to their streams at a later time?

    The set name dialog says I can authenticate with a fediverse account via the authenticate dialog, but that doesn’t seem to work, at least not with my lemmy account…

    But if I succesfully authenticated there’s no indication that would let me “subscribe” to a given channel or something though, and that’s really what I want

      Afaik it is only compatible with Mastodon and similar software, not Lemmy.

      You should be able to follow a video channel on Owncast from Mastodon etc. and get updates that way.

      The login with Fedi feature is afaik only to join the chat that is displayed next to the video stream.
