The first version of federation support for Owncast.
This list of features an…d specifics is a work in progress.
- Supports remote follow flow.
- Follows, shares and likes are surfaced in the chat to encourage people to engage with posts on the Fediverse.
- "Private mode" requires follows to be approved in the admin, and post visibility is limited to followers only.
- Secondary metadata APIs such as `node-info2` and `host-meta` are supported so Owncast will show up in Fediverse directories such as [FediDB](https://fedidb.org/network/instance?domain=ap-test-3.owncast.tv), [the-federation.info](https://the-federation.info/owncast) and others.
- If the server is marked as NSFW outbound posts have a content warning and the animated GIF of the current stream is marked as "sensitive".
- Manual posts can be sent by clicking on the compose button in the admin.
- Tags configured for the server are used as the tags for "Go Live" posts. The links for these tags currently link to the directory because I'm not sure where else makes sense to link them to.
- Can block entire domains from federating with the server.
- Server shows up as a user profile in other services with the server description, logo, tags, etc.
