Is it possible we could get some feature where people can livestream? I really miss Reddit Sessions but they were very clear it’s not being reinstated.

If it’s not possible or too expensive I apologize - I just thought I’d ask.

    Not likely, as that would be a complex undertaking and require such a increase in compute resources that volunteer instances would be priced out and forced monetization features would be needed to keep the system alfoat.

      Eek. Okay let’s not. Sorry if I came across as entitled - I really don’t know much about running a website.

        That’s all right mate. People don’t realise the complexity of video and the resources it takes to mass stream or broadcast.

      Yes.

      I realize it wasn’t cost effective but I also feel it didn’t get a fair shake.

      They could have asked us to pay a subscription or something but no…they just reduced visibility and later completely got rid of it.

      You would only see it in the official app or on the new Reddit site I think. I never saw it in Apollo or old Reddit, I saw them a few times because a co-worker used new Reddit for some reason and would occasionally have somebody playing ukulele live in his feed
