Edit: TL;DR: I want to be a streamer and don’t know where to stream to
I’m not entirely sure that’s the right community for this question, but a recent post about how we’re in the “golden age of sports streaming” reminded me of the time I used to post and stream matches on reddit. It was fun, sometimes stressful when things went wrong trying to get it back up as quickly as possible, but overall enjoyable.
I’ve thought about going back to it, but I wouldn’t know even where to begin to host a stream. When I was doing it, there used to be platforms you could use to stream at (like ssh101 or streamup), of course avoiding youtube and twitch like the plague, but what about today? What site could one use today without it being taken down every 5 minutes to even start streaming sports events? It seems like it’s a lot harder today than it used to be years ago.
Thanks but doesn’t tell me where I can stream one event myself. Do you know if they can be contacted to be a streamer? That’s what I’m looking for, where to be a streamer.
I guess for now I’ll steam here:
ssh101.com / live / bustedpancake
Does Lemmy have rules generally about posting links and that sort of thing? Just curious. There are aggregators out there that have a whole bunch of links based on what events are currently on. There’s one in particular I use, but I don’t want to break any rules, because I certainly did not read the rules.
Hey, any chance you can share what you’re using privately? Ive had a frustrating time since the app/service I relied on shut down recently, permanently by the looks of it, and im back to hunting links on websites which arent too reliable. Mainly looking to watch football(soccer), if thats relevant. TIA!
https://www.reddit-soccerstreams.com/
https://streams.footybite.com/homeThat’s the best I’ve found, so far.
I’d throw in sportsurge too
Lemmy, itself, more or less has no rules, but individual instances do and links may violate some of them. More importantly though, publicly linking directories like that can be a good way for them to catch the attention of someone that would want to shut them down.
Edit: I accidentally a word
For sure on that second point. I have a site I use for very specific streams that I won’t share for exactly that reason. The link aggregators, I’ll share them, but probably not publicly, I’d we consider Lemmy’s outward facing forum public. Still feels very new here, although it’s obviously been here for a while and I’m just a new guy.
