Not entirely sure how that would work, but it would be a cool idea anyhow

Maybe a hook into Peertube or Owncast? although hooking into those might be out of scope for a Lemmy client idk

Edit: RPAN was Reddit’s short-lived livestreaming experiment, which ended up being killed due to the cost of running a service like that.

How i envision it working within Mlem is that it would display an in-app embed (or native support) for videos hosted via PeerTube or Owncast in the feed (possibly taking up the native resolution / aspect ratio)

To improve discoverability, mlem would (theoretically) recommend communities that are tagged (probably via a #tag in the description) or something like that

    this is exactly what I was envisioning, basically just better in-app video support & livestream support

    i failed to explain that in the original post, but having vertical videos take up the whole vertical space of a phone would be nice (ofc w/ a setting to turn that off for people who don’t enjoy those things)

    maybe a feature within mlem to suggest communities that are aimed at those type of content (maybe via a #tag within the community description?) to increase discovery?

    Edit: updated the OP w/ more details
