I actually just signed up for a Odysee account after reading this thread. Since I have over 300 subscribers on my Youtube channel, I was able to sync my Youtube channel with my Odysee account. Unfortunately not all videos could sync due to limitations set by Odysee but it's great to branch out and try different platforms. I also set up a membership tier on my Odysee account too.

Oy, I feel this. I gave up YouTube and deleted all my vids. The good thing was that as a smaller creator, I actually got more followers by shifting everything to a PeerTube instance than I had accumulated over 8 years at YouTube. None of my vids have nearly the same numbers of views, but in comparison to the big picture they weren’t being seen at all. For me specifically, reducing the size of the pond actually helped. But art is different than the kind of work you’re doing. As much as we both need reach, we make different stuff so we appeal to different kinds of people. I have to wonder if that didn’t play a factor in my transition—I think I finally found a bunch of my people… For general usage, I turned off my watch history and I only visit my Subscriptions page when I go there. I don’t see their “recommendations”, so I don’t deal with that… It has been very healthy for me, personally.

I use Carrd. It has a lot of features, a lot of design flexibility, and a lot of icons from different platforms. It also has a nice mobile interface. https://coreyartusimageryinfo.carrd.co/

I use Ecamm, but find that the general focus of the app tends to be on a particular “flavor” of livestreaming that isn’t necessarily what I can use… It has been focusing on a lot of Zoom stuff, interview-based streaming, and podcasting. I remember a while ago Ecamm guru Adrian Salisbury was convinced by his son to explore Twitch for the first time, and I thought—”How can you be in this business and never have explored Twitch?” That shook my faith in the product a bit. Apps like OBS continually come out with features that cater specifically to gaming and art. Ecamm, not so much… I’ve always felt I’ve been using for something it wasn’t intended for. So if I had to suggest anything about Ecamm, it wouldn’t be in their product as much as it would be in their perspectives—as in widening them. That might bring more features (that OBS has already built in) which could make it much more appealing to a broader user base.

I have seen so many TV shows that it's going to be very difficult for me to name just only one as my favorite TV show of all time. The ones that I'm going to pick as my favorites are ; 1. Game of Thrones 2. House of the Dragon 3. Hannibal 4. The Good Doctor 5. 24 Which one's are your favorite TV shows?

Hi, my name is Nomad, I am a content writer, blogger and author. When I am not working, I enjoy playing games, watching TV shows and movies. I am epicurean by nature. Good to be in this community. Cheers

Hulk here What’s up?

I kick myself that I didn’t get in on the Kickstarter. I put it off and put it off until I missed out. Shinzakura bought into it. I think he would have really really loved it. It’s sad he’ll never get to use it. I think he may have invited a bunch of folks to join his Realm, honestly. I, too, am really looking forward to seeing it move on to the public. I’ll be there if I can.

Beta site is working perfectly now and I managed to work out why things were breaking before. Going through the motions of setting things up how I would like the new format to look and realizing that I will have to go through all of these tags and streamline things a lot. I'm happy in how it's turning out and will probably work on moving things over to the new version later next month or early next year.

I really enjoy this layout and look. I had been thinking about setting up a forum website, and this is the model that I was looking at. I think part of it is that I prefer the darker colors at the moment.

If you want to check out Beam: The Website - https://beamstream.gg/ Their Discord - https://discord.gg/SfC4KG92 Gaming Tribe (AKA GTribe) - https://www.gamingtribe.com/

This is what I was wondering if they still existed as there is no way to log onto the website via arena.tv, but through their Discord I discovered that they are using a slightly different address at the moment. You can find them at https://gaming.arena.tv now.

Lately, I've been messing around within Odysee for uploading videos. The user experience is decently not bad at all, similar to what you may experience on YouTube. There are several differences that I've come across with using Odysee but, overall there isn't much difference with the services. Has anyone else been using or will be using Odysee in the future?

I deleted my Odysee account not long ago. It's a nice platform, and I am surprised that it isn't used by far more people. It really should be more well known than it is. I did a few streams on the site, but then forgot that I could stream there. Streaming there is like streaming on YT, where most people outside of your followers won't know that you are streaming.

Hey everyone my username is Ravenfreak! I'm a 34 year old guy who's a fan of playing video games, listening to music, programming from time to time and watching cartoons. I also enjoy creating content for my Youtube channel and posting on forums as well. I've had my Youtube channel for 16 years but I haven't really done much with it until I started getting Retro Game Treasure boxes. So I film unboxing videos now and video game related content. Anyways Sonic the Hedgehog is my favorite gaming franchise and my favorite cartoon is Teen Titans. Nice to meet you all!

It's a shame that Roblox decided to force Guilded users to sign up for a Roblox account to continue using the platform. I always thought Guilded had better features than Discord, and a few of the features that Discord has came from Guilded first. Anyways, this is a nice guide regardless of how anyone feels about the change and I believe it does a good job clearing some things up that people might be confused about.

Seems to be a number of different streaming services popping up (then vanishing,) since the Mixer closure. Some seem to get momentum at first, then vanish, like Glimesh, Livestream and so many others. Both Shareplay and Arena seem to be struggling with not just streamers, but also viewers. The one that has surprised me in a great way is OwnCast, as I am seeing more and more streamers on it.

I remember a number of years ago I was looking for a place other than Twitch to stream. Now I really didn't have much against Twitch, and even though I have been on it since it was Justin.TV, I found it crowded and a hard place to get noticed. Oh, I wasn't looking to have 40 or 50 thousand viewers and follows, but I figured that if I could get 5 to 10, then I would be happy, and I would surely not only followed them back, but would actually become one of their viewers. What I noticed was that trying to get people was difficult, and found that many small creators would only send their show to large creators with a large number of people already watching. I think that it would be better if the small streamers would help each other out. But anyway, I came up on this streaming site called DLive. Getting onto it was easy, and I noticed that much of the users were from other countries outside of the USA. I noticed that the staff were streamers, and that they would do update and Q&A shows often. They would also implement new things for the streamers, and overall it became a great place to stream, but them they seem to get greedy in some ways. Now I understand that it takes money to keep these site going, but they started putting in levels in order for the creators to do certain things, things that I think would get viewers to subscribe. Then I noticed towards the end of the world-wide pandemic, I would find the staff on less and less, and it seemed as though they didn't care anymore. I found myself looking for other places to stream, and found myself elsewhere. I never deleted my DLive account, and even kept it in my bookmarks. After a few years I went back to to see if things had changed for the better, and even though it hadn't, I would check in from time to time. After the J6 event in the USA, I stopped in a few months later, and took a deep look around. As I looked around I noticed that the IRL channel and other channels had become more and more "right wing", but not that bad. KICK came along at some point, and I noticed how racist, homophobic, sexist, etc it was. To show how bad it was, several of the people on the front page had title using racist terms, with one channel being highlighted and the person repeatedly using a term towards Blacks. I went to use places like Glimesh and a few others which are no longer around, then when they all closed I checked out Twitch, Kick and DLive again. Twitch hadn't and still hasn't changed, and when someone says they want people to subscribe to them, I tell them I will after they subscribe to my channel (actually nobody can as I am not at that level,) but would hear the excuses as when they wouldn't and excuses as to why they couldn't even follow my channel. When I checked out Kick, I noticed that they had done a great just of cleaning up the site of the hateful stuff that was on it. Yeah, some of it can be still found, but they seem to remove creators and stuff as fast as they can who abuse the TOS. I went and checked DLive, and noticed that there was right wing stuff there, but it wasn't that much. By this time I had found a few new streaming start-ups, and figured that I would give them a chance and hope to help them grow. One of them is great, as they have it setup so that one can multi-stream to other platforms as you streamed on their platform. I found out about BeamStream through Josh when he mentioned it on an episode of one other shows. Anyways, I got things setup and added a few other places to the multistream. Now even though I didn't care for what was going on stream wise with DLive, I put it in there. I knew that with DLive I wouldn't have to go to the site, and would say in the ticker that I use that the only chat that I checked would be on Beamstream. After streaming on Beamstream for a while, I realized that I needed to make a couple of changes on DLive and other streaming sites. When I went to DLive I was horrified in what I saw. It was like those who were kicked from KICK had gone there. What was and is worse is that this isn't just streamers from the USA, but from other parts of the world with their hateful talk. I have tried to put up with it and not think about it, but I can't stream there anymore. The owners have let that place go down. Now I can put up with a lot of things, and am willing to turn my eyes away on things, but the people who run DLive need to take control again. I would feel dirty and filthy if I continued to use that platform. I really don't want to do it, but I just can't associate myself with them until they clean that place up. In the meantime you can find me streaming on Beamstream with my multistreams going out to places like Kick, Twitch, Vaughn, Shareplay, Picarto, Trovo and elsewhere.

I had tried out DLive in its early days before it fully went down the crypto scam coins fiasco. This was just before they signed up PewDiePie for a large amount of money and he rarely did much on the platform. It's seemingly appears that if you are a alternative live streaming platform that caters to a certain audience, it eventually turns into a soup of very far right wing hate mongers. The average creator will not even entertain streaming on places like this. I and like you, have traveled the wastelands of live streaming spaces.

I actually tried this and it works. LOL! It bridges pictures and keeps the alt-text and even the hashtags. And I sent it from my Ice Cubes app on my iPad, so… The downside is that if you already have an account on the platform your reaching out to, the two don’t connect. So anyone from Mastodon has to follow a new account if they want to see my stuff I post on Bluesky. That account would be: @coreyartus.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy And anyone from Bluesky has to follow a new account if they want to see anything I post on Mastodon: @Coreyartus.mindly.social.ap.brid.gy Also, Mastodon posts, with their 500 character limit, get chopped off at 300. (Personally, I hate the 300 character micro-blogging limit because I think it’s only taught us that we shouldn’t say anything that can’t be put into a soundbite, and there are plenty of examples of platforms where that limit simply isn’t necessary.) But it’s an interesting development. I’m not sure I want to redo my Carrd to yet more new accounts… I have to think about that.

Preach!!! Couldn’t have said it better!!! Well done!

Hello everyone, I'm Heatman. I'm happy to join this community. I'm a very big fan of football, movies, TV shows, music and playing video games. It feels good to be here.

This would be a great thing to happen if Ghost joins the ActivityPub. Ghost, the open-source alternative to Substack’s newsletter platform, is considering joining the fediverse, the social network of interconnected servers that includes apps like Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Flipboard, and, more recently, Instagram Threads, among others. According to a post from Ghost founder John O’Nolan, the company — which is structured as a nonprofit — is considering federating Ghost over ActivityPub, the social networking protocol that powers the fediverse. https://tcrn.ch/3Q3LZkL?utm_source=community.2tonwaffle.com&utm_medium=iframely

Seriously, all of the social media platforms we have today are just one and the same thing. Facebook gives you the same thing Instagram and Threads brings. X have always been a very toxic community and Elon Musk taking over never made things better.

I've been really enjoying myself on Beam, as it allows me to multistream to other places, and as a result I have picked up new followers elsewhere. I am using the Sponsored level, and what I have found is that it isn't has bad as it is on Twitch when it comes to ads. One short ad at the beginning of one coming into the room, and a short ad about every 15 minutes. Another thing that I enjoy is their micro-blog, GTribe. On there, you can post a link to your Beam site, and if you are live it will play through there. The Leaderboard is nice in that one can see where one ranks in different areas. The downsizes that I have found so far is that it doesn't show how one can go from being Sponsored to someone who pays for Premium. The problem with GTribe is that they want you to use your real name. If your alias is different than your real name (like mine,) people will have trouble finding you, but you can go in and change it to your alias. Because it is so new, and people have had to deal with shut downs of other sites, picking up both streamers and viewers is difficult. With the streaming software that I use, it makes it easy to run a ticker across to say that it where I look at the chat while I stream to other sites. I think that once people discover it, they will move to it, I'm guessing that it will most likely become #1 as to where one should be Multi-streaming from.

Howdy everyone! Thought I'd register and show a little support to my friend Josh. :) I'm Cedric, 32 years old. I consider myself a content creator and webmaster. Currently working on a new project myself. It's great to be here. :)
