What is better than a list? A list of lists!

For academic Mastodon, we now have a central place to gather all lists that folks have created:

Thanks to the creators of the lists @perspektivbrocken @jwyg @brenton_peterson @JauneBaguette @thhaase

@hendrikerz This is really great! Can you advise on how I can connect to the mastodon groups (like "@ecologies")? Seemed easy at first glance but the link on the github page doesn't work for me and I get stuck in a mastodon auth loop...

@kidwellj Enter the group name into the search field on mastodon (including its domain!), then you should get to the profile where you basically just have to follow the group to see the updates!

I've just noticed that one can simply follow a group now. Suspect this was a part of recent masto updates. This is a game changer IMHO so that you can join an instance emphasise community there and also follow peeps across servers along special interest lines. But also suspect there will be increasing needs to mod and monitor memberships lest groups get inadvertently infiltrated...
