Reddit Sessions alternative? (lemmy.world)

Is it possible we could get some feature where people can livestream? I really miss Reddit Sessions but they were very clear it’s not being reinstated.

If it’s not possible or too expensive I apologize - I just thought I’d ask.

Not likely, as that would be a complex undertaking and require such a increase in compute resources that volunteer instances would be priced out and forced monetization features would be needed to keep the system alfoat.

    Better use Peertube for live streaming video. :-)

    Yes.

    I realize it wasn't cost effective but I also feel it didn't get a fair shake.

    They could have asked us to pay a subscription or something but no...they just reduced visibility and later completely got rid of it.

    You would only see it in the official app or on the new Reddit site I think. I never saw it in Apollo or old Reddit, I saw them a few times because a co-worker used new Reddit for some reason and would occasionally have somebody playing ukulele live in his feed

    There's no youtube competitor because no one can afford it.
