Any good things to follow on Mastodon? I’ve tried using it, but between BlueSky and Lemmy, it doesn’t seem to have as many users. No biggie, just asking. Cheers!
What are your top recommendations, my friend? I’m big on that, I like the social aspects if sites in a sense, but I prefer having a grouped area for my news.
While politics are important to stay up to date on, I’m trying to fix mt feeds to have as minimal political news as possible, unless I click on it.
I’ve been using inoreader, but haven’t quite figured it out either. I’d like to follow scientists and environmentalists like you mentioned, but also artists, designers, small businesses, etc.
I’m trying to stay up to date in my relevant fields, but also find people to donate my time to. I’ve heard mastodon is great for networking, but to be honest, everyone on lemmy has been bad ass. This is becoming my new hub, does lemmy connect into mastodon fediverse thingy? Lol!
I use Mastodon to follow people and Lemmy to follow topics.
I actually created a Proof of concept where each hashtag would be a subreddit like interface a couple of weeks ago. Its VERY rough but links2 compatible :D. The idea is the first hashtag will be the “lemmy community” like interface. Its just mastodon.py with a very small fast api front end. Popped it up in an hour or so. I need to work on the UI badly but I keep not having the spoons.
Any way I can help you with your goals? No charge of course. I’d like to see more free options available for people, my time is worth the sacrifice to help give power back to the people.
I threw it up on Codeberg. Ill add in instructions later mastodon-to-hash-as-mblog. Feel free to fork and add what you want. Ill add in a README in a bit.
One thing to note, you HAVE to create an API token from the mastodon server of your choice in order to make this work. Theres probably a way around this, but I havent found it yet.
It’s definitely work in progress. But it has also grown a lot, and you will have no issues finding good content there. Hashtags and “people that the people you follow follow” are a good start. Also, at the end of my post you’ll find some seed suggestions. :)
I follow a couple people like Hempuli (Baba Is You dev), Internetarchive, and David Revoy (Pepper & Carrot comic creator). Really depends on what you wanna follow. I follow them because I’m interested in their work in one way or another.

I use mastodon to read about what scientists and environmentalists are writing. So not really for social, more like science based post viewing
