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
