@artbyeliza are you looking into a platform with an audience, or just a tool to stream at an existing audience that can be bothered to open a website? (or screaming into the void?)
For the former, you are stuck on terrible platforms
For the latter, there is owncast. I can't reccomend any already existing owncast instances because I know none of them...

@portaloffreedom @artbyeliza
was gonna say the exact same thing.
also as far as i know Owncast is (deliberately) relatively easy to set up, so you can consider setting one up yourself.

@Yuvalne @portaloffreedom @artbyeliza there's also several artists (and not artists) here on the Fedi that have extensive experience with it. If the boost doesn't reach them I'll try pinging a couple that may willing to help.
