I have a friend that also brought up discoverability as an issue, so she stayed on Twitch. Twitch also has a massive discoverability problem and they have numerous tools, but there's so much noise it's impossible to rise above it.
With Owncast discoverability is organic atm. It's a tiny, but growing pond. Like anything else anymore, if you want to be discovered you have to do the leg work.
But it's definitely NOT Twitch and you won't get famous or make tons of money.
What you can do though is control your platform, stream what you want, etc.
