Thanks to the latest updates, if you have an @owncast instance you can now connect it to the Fediverse! 🥳

The Fediverse support is switched off by default, but you can switch it on very easily. Once it's activated, people on Mastodon etc will be able to follow your OwnCast account and be notified when you're livestreaming.

To activate Fediverse support on your OwnCast instance, make sure you have the software updated to at least 0.0.11, then go to Configuration > Social. There are more details about it at owncast.online/docs/social

(OwnCast is a free open self-hostable alternative to Twitch, a livestreaming platform with a chat system built in. More info at owncast.online )
