This is the first time I’ve ever heard something positive about RPAN. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

As long as I can properly disable it if it ever shows up on Lemmy, then I’m all for it. Reddit made it show up in my feed no matter how many times I clicked “hide”.
Good luck finding a solution!
Idk if it is what you're looking for, but there is Owncast. It's a federated alternative to Twitch, including support for the Fediverse.
I like their directory page. Presumably that shows current live streams from different instances. Having one place to go to see all streams seems key, casual viewers will not visit lots of different instances looking for streams.
Very nice, is there a client that integrates a chat room like Twitch?
It was just a livestream feature, something that can easily be incorporated into youtube to make their streaming more approachable. No point in it being offered here just like when it showed up on reddit. The same thing goes for place.
unfortunately my control over how youtube works is quite limited
We had a place a couple of months ago!
You could always just live stream using Twitch or something and post a link here? Maybe create a c/RPAN for a similar effect.
Probably needs a new name, or just 'PublicAccessNetwork'
PAF: Public Access Fedwork
Nah, you'd want 'Federated' to be the first word, so that it stands out, so maybe 'Federated Access to the Public'
Fat has negative connotations though, so ideally you'd want to hide the 't'. How about FAP? That's got no negative connotations, right?
Peertube has live streaming, not sure if there is a community like RPAN though.
It might be pretty expensive to host something like that. Video encoding can get really expensive. I enjoyed RPAN's brief stay though.
