I've thought for a long time that #OwnCast servers were somehow part of the fediverse, like PeerTube servers are. But in this interview with founder and lead developer Gabe Kangas, he seems to be saying that it isn't;

Can anyone clarify?
Thanks for answering the yes/no question here @owncast. Bit of a shame the details given here about how fediverse integration with OwnCast works;

... never made it into the interview. I worry that a lot of people will be left with the same false or confused impression I was.
How is that made clear to admins when they establish a new OwnCast server, and to streamers when they create an account on one? It would be a crying shame if people thought their streams were discoverable via the fediverse when they're not.
This is a bonfire demo instance for testing purposes
