The Mastodon political science community is scattered across multiple servers. That is fine!
However, one way to keep connected is by the use of *a group*
So, please, all political scientists, follow this group get all political science posts: @politicalscience
And tag the group to share with us all, if you want to spread messages across the entire political science community.
BUT it only works if people follow the group. So, please boost to spread the word! 🙏
That’s exactly what it is.
(And I have taken the “group” off this reply)
@aphandersen @M_B_Petersen @politicalscience
I haven't looked at the actual implementation, but I assume that "following hashtags" will only show posts from your "Federated timeline".
This will not be effective way to implement a group inclusive to users on small instances.
@aphandersen @pmakholm No, not all content. Hashtags only show posts that have already been federated to your server.
I have no idea what your hope for the Local Timeline is - everything in the Local Timeline also appears in the Federated Timeline.
These two screenshots shows #TIL as seen from norrebro.space and fosstodon.org. This is what I expect the "follow hashtag" feature will add to your feed.
It is not just a matter of eventually being consistent. It is just that as a small instance norrebro.space follows fewer accounts and therefore see fewer posts.
@M_B_Petersen @politicalscience
And follow @potemkinvillage for research on propaganda, influence operations, disinformation and the like. 😉 [reposted with hopefully functional link]
Indeed there is [at]economics[at]a.gup.pe, although it doesn’t seem to get much use at the moment
(Didn’t want to actually tag the account, because then this would send to everyone!)
