FediFollows

p.s. I know I’ve posted about this several times before, apologies for the repetition but people keep asking where they can find news accounts to follow!

I’ve spent ages getting them listed and sorted into categories, so please do click on the link if you want some news accounts 😁

To follow an account, copy-paste its address into the search box in Mastodon etc.

@RafaelDios@fosstodon.org

Thanks for the suggestions, I will have a look! 🙏

Spain is in the thread by the way:

@tsyum

Flipboard federates in both directions, it is possible to have conversations with the accounts. However, the big media companies tend to just use it as a one-directional feed (which is what they do on social media anyway). Flipboard was originally made as a way to read and discover articles so this makes sense.

But even as a feed it is useful, the links in posts go directly to the actual websites of the media companies.

p.s. If news accounts (or any other kinds of accounts) are overwhelming your timeline, you can split them off your main timeline into themed mini-timelines using Mastodon’s “Lists” feature:
