Raiding bigger streamers than me ?

Hey y'all, I'm trying to get better at networking. I've found a few streamers I keep getting drawn to and watching but most of them avg ~70 viewers.

I know raiding is important but I was curious if it's okay to raid someone that much bigger than me (I avg 3-4 viewers) and just in general what raiding etiquette is in those kinds of situations.

Thanks in advance:)

Want to try being a streamer but to scared of failer to try

i know this sounds lame but im drunk enough tonight to at least say this, i have always wanted to try streaming since i was a teen but have always been to shy or afraid to fail to actually give it a a shot i have a mixer with a at2020 mic and im gonna be getting some good headphones but i guess i keep sycing myself out of it or overcomplicating it when i look at obs or something, i know this is a rant and im sorry but just felt like being honest with myself while self reflecting, had thoughts of being a vtuber to hide myself behind a image but idk feel like it doesnt solve the problem that is my insecurities. sorry for the rant i hope you all have a good night.

How do I attract more viewers?

I'm new to streaming (started in January). I try to make my streams appealing by not staying quiet on stream, adding a viewer count and a chatbox, but nothing works. Is it me or just luck?

Looking for people in their 20s to build a Twitch friend group (friendship first, content second!)

Hi! I’m Lyra (24F), and I’m starting a Twitch community.
The goal isn’t just finding people to stream with. It’s building a genuine friend group that naturally creates entertaining conversations.
Think late-night Twitch calls that somehow turn into:
hilarious life stories
dating disasters
college drama
embarrassing moments
random debates
giving each other advice
convincing someone to do something impulsive “for the plot”
I’ll be hosting on facecam around 2–3 times a week, and I’m looking for people in their 20s who enjoy talking, laughing, and getting to know each other.
You don’t have to be a streamer. I care much more about personality than experience.
The vibe is chaotic, comforting, fun, and unfiltered.
A few boundaries:
• No politics
• No hate speech
• Respectful discussions only
• LGBTQ+ and POC friendly
If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love a group of online friends I actually look forward to talking to,” I’d love to hear from you.
Tell me a little about yourself or send me a DM!

How many streams did it take to find your groove?

I’ve only been streaming on Twitch for 23 days, and I’m already noticing some things I want to improve, like leaving dead air or getting stuck on tech issues longer than I should. I’m sure experienced streamers could spot even more, but I’d love to hear what helped other new streamers. What were the tips or moments that made everything click?

Thank you!

New here! ♥️🙂

✨Hi guys Am Kira, I’m from the UK, i like playing all types of different games.💗 I Mainly play Fortnite but I also like to play sims 3/4, Elden Ring (RPGS) , horror games and loads more. 😊

What I’m aiming for:
I am aiming towards a welcoming, safe, happy and fun play for where people can come together and encourage and chat make friends or just just watch and feel apart of the family. ❤️I’m an affiliate atm and some people say "oh you not trying to get to Partner" my reply is always the same, tbh it would be absolutely amazing if I did, but tbh I’m not bothered "I just want to meet loads of amazing people from all around the world and make like a really strong Family. Where the is support, happiness, and some some how maybe make a different in the world."🌍

Where I see my self in 5/10 years:
I like to think I would have met loads of different amazing people, and have an amazing community behind me.
And a big channel to hold them all in , the more people I’ll feel like I’m making somewhat of a difference somewhere.

My main platform is PC but I do stream sometimes on Xbox or PlayStation if there is a game I want to stream that isn’t on PC. 🖥️

I started streaming in 2020/2021 but stopped because of my health "CKD" in 2022 I kept going for a while till about 2024. But I didn’t stream as much as I would of liked between 2022/2024.
My health declined in 2025 so I started dialysis (PD) in January of 2025 and by 31/05/26 I had my kidney transplant from my partner of nearly 8 years. 💍♥️
Then by 15/06/26 I started streaming again. I undated my name from "Phoenix915, to PhoenixXox" for like a fresh start . And I’ve noticed a massive improvement with in how I stream.🙂👍🏻

I appreciate every single person who follows, chats and even lurks 👀 becuase without them I would get noticed , "Thank you so much"
My channel is a little boring at the moment but hopefully with time there will be massive in provements as my channel grows and I grow.
I look forward to seeing more of you in the future 🥰

Anyone else spend way too much time trying to decide what game to stream?

Hello! I'm Brandon. I'm new to a lot of this, so if anything in this post is bad form let me know.

Hey guys, this isn't an ad, I'm not selling anything. I am looking for a few beta users for a new twitch streamer tool we have been building for a few months. It's totally free, no card required or anything. If you have a twitch account you can login, that is all it needs. It gives you recommendations on what to stream based on your schedule, your stats, your preferences, and the twitch market. It will sync your choices to your twitch calendar and manage it for you as well.

I'm not charging anything for people who help me beta test it, totally free. If you are interested you can message me. I don't know if this community will allow me to post the link.

Improvement

Still wish I could get my average viewer up BUT I love seeing improvements in general!

Am very happy. I stream to keep the not so nice thoughts away so seeing ANY form that my stream is improving really helps boost my own self esteem when it comes to streaming

Looking for streamers 18+ to stream with!

Hey everyone! I have finally decided after years of thinking about it to start streaming. I don’t have any friends who like to stream though so I don’t have anyone to play games with. I ordered a mic the other day and am waiting for it to come in and i’m working on setting up my OBS and other twitch stuff and I will be good to go! If anyone is interested in collaborating or just having another person to play with i’d love to do it.

Pretty Proud of these numbers

Some background on me:
35F living in US. Currently playing Spyro and resident evil. Live 5 days a week for 3-4hours at a time. I started streaming as a hobby to meet fellow gamers as none of my irl friends are into video games

I’ve seen streaming for about 3.5 months (since March 14th). I’m really working on consistency in my schedule and games that I play. I raid out every stream and I network in my free time on threads, IG and TikTok.

I never dreamed that my numbers would look like this so quickly and I am so thankful for my community that I’m building.

I seem to have found what works for me. Sometimes it just takes some trial and error but I truly feel there are enough viewers out there for all of us to find communities and thrive!
