Edit: TL;DR: I want to be a streamer and don't know where to stream to

I'm not entirely sure that's the right community for this question, but a recent post about how we're in the "golden age of sports streaming" reminded me of the time I used to post and stream matches on reddit. It was fun, sometimes stressful when things went wrong trying to get it back up as quickly as possible, but overall enjoyable.

I've thought about going back to it, but I wouldn't know even where to begin to host a stream. When I was doing it, there used to be platforms you could use to stream at (like ssh101 or streamup), of course avoiding youtube and twitch like the plague, but what about today? What site could one use today without it being taken down every 5 minutes to even start streaming sports events? It seems like it's a lot harder today than it used to be years ago.

Does Lemmy have rules generally about posting links and that sort of thing? Just curious. There are aggregators out there that have a whole bunch of links based on what events are currently on. There's one in particular I use, but I don't want to break any rules, because I certainly did not read the rules.

Lemmy, itself, more or less has no rules, but individual instances do and links may violate some of them. More importantly though, publicly linking directories like that can be a good way for them to catch the attention of someone that would want to shut them down.

Edit: I accidentally a word

For sure on that second point. I have a site I use for very specific streams that I won't share for exactly that reason. The link aggregators, I'll share them, but probably not publicly, I'd we consider Lemmy's outward facing forum public. Still feels very new here, although it's obviously been here for a while and I'm just a new guy.

[-] BustedPancake@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I was wondering where I could be streaming the events, not where to watch it.

[-] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Consider me having misunderstood then. Out of curiosity, why would you stream? And I cast no aspersions asking, just curious as to someone's rationale: income, fuck the system, goodness of their heart.

[-] BustedPancake@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I've always liked sharing stuff. I never got any money when I used to stream, some people asked if they could donate I always said I'm not interested. I used to rely on streams, after when I was able to stream myself, I wanted to give back.

Hey, any chance you can share what you're using privately? Ive had a frustrating time since the app/service I relied on shut down recently, permanently by the looks of it, and im back to hunting links on websites which arent too reliable. Mainly looking to watch football(soccer), if thats relevant. TIA!

https://www.reddit-soccerstreams.com/
https://streams.footybite.com/home

That's the best I've found, so far.

[-] svotay@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you, I was aware of these two already, and for the most part the reliability of footybite links havent been great of late, and I had thought the redditsoccerstreams one had shut down completely, maybe this is a copycat or something, in any case, the more the merrier!

[-] doleo@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

It's a copy. They keep having to change servers, the last few got seized.

Tbh, they do seem to be posting mostly the same links as each other, and the streams aren't always reliable.

This idea of a 'golden age of streaming' doesnt match with my experience. It was better when we were all using acestream!

[-] legion@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'd throw in sportsurge too

[-] stillnotahero@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

There has been quite a surge of sports on the ‘net as of lately. I do wonder why that is?

[-] ugh@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

From what I've read in the rules, I believe this link is okay to post. Choose the sport you'd like to watch from the side bar. I think the .io link is also secure, but I've read warnings to only use .net.

sportsurge.net

[-] BustedPancake@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Sorry I think the title wasn't clear. I don't want to watch, I want to stream.

[-] ugh@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Ohh, okay. Can't help there, but thank you for helping the community!!

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Generally OK to post links to frontpages, but still recommended to use b64

[-] iagomago@feddit.it 2 points 1 year ago

oof, no football?

[-] aniki@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

socceronline.me

[-] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Linking to a home page is totally fine, thanks for sharing.

[-] BustedPancake@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I guess for now I'll steam here:

ssh101.com / live / bustedpancake

Thanks but doesn't tell me where I can stream one event myself. Do you know if they can be contacted to be a streamer? That's what I'm looking for, where to be a streamer.
