I see quite a lot of #Science posts expressing concern if The Public will follow their authors' #TwitterMigration over on here.

Here's the thing: they don't even have to. Every #Mastodon account has an #RSS feed. For example, here's mine:
https://mstdn.social/@rysiek.rss

Every hashtag has an RSS feed as well (as seen from a given instance), for example:
https://mstdn.social/tags/Science.rss

Your audiences can follow you without ever setting up an account on fedi, with any RSS reader.

@rysiek but I don't want to be "followed", I want to talk to people

@supersciencegrl that's very valid, and you've come to the right place.

My post was specifically in the context of people asking if their "audiences" come here so that they can "reach" them, and that sounded to me more like being about a one-way / broadcast type interactions. So that's what my post was about.

But as you might have noticed (as many new arrivals seem to quickly point out), there's often *more* interaction here than on , even if there are fewer people here. 👍

@rysiek Huh, I hadn't noticed yet - but that's probs because my app won't show me most toots for some reason 😂 that sounds very positive!

@supersciencegrl follow broadly, this will fill up your timeline nicely. Then cull follows as needed to make it look what you want it to look. 🙂
