Fireside Fedi is a show where we sit down with folks that are a part of the Fediverse and get to know them. A relaxing chill time. Powered fully by Fediverse connected tech.
UPCOMING EPISODES:
A newbie's guide to self-hosting with YunoHost. Part 3: Let’s install NextCloud
I've been giving lots of feedback to the @Bonfire@bonfire.cafe guys. They're taking things up SUPER fast. It's been absolutely incredible.
I recommend folks try out Bonfire, because it's honestly shaping up to be the one stop shop platform for social networking, consuming news, eventually handling calendar events, etc.
They just let me know about the new Git they just put up about Bonfire Widget suggestions. What would YOU want to see in Bonfire?

Calling on all free and open source developers.
We need recommendations for current platforms that exist to support Owncast streamers via bots, tips, etc that can help people convert from Big Tech platforms and easily move away from platforms such as Twitch.
I'm guessing they don't exist ATM, but I'm willing to start a platform if folks know tools we can use. Such as easily running bot commands in chat.
I know Le Fractal as emojiwall.
What else exists?
What features would YOU need to make your conversion to Owncast or Peertube easier?
