We now not only have all our #Bylines publications on Mastodon...

...but are now shifting them to our new Mastodon server (http://Bylines.Social)

We're the first UK media outfit, that we can see, to take the step of setting up a Mastodon server (instance) to provide content.

I think that's worth a little love β™₯️

So please do follow and assiduously reblog:

@BylinesNetwork
@YorksBylines
@NWBylines
@NEBylines
@WEBylines

Bylines Network

The official Mastodon instance for the Bylines Network

Mastodon hosted on bylines.social

And note that we have the other #Bylines also transferring across.

If you follow them now, you'll still be following them when they move. So please do also follow:

@BylinesScotland
@BylinesCymru
@centralbylines
@sussexbylines
@KentBylines

@welWyn25

Hmmm -strange

Try again now? Maybe because they were newly across that things were a bit glitchy still.

@mikegalsworthy that is absolutely worth a lot of love ❀️❀️❀️❀️

While the owner of the Birdsite is trashing his brand and spreading and encouraging mischief, I’m so pleased to see you guys have rolled your sleeves up and kept open, honesty and evidence based news streams. Well done.

@mikegalsworthy
Now following them all. It's terrific to see you're making such an effort here - thanks for showing such commitment.
Good effort!
Before I boost wanted to check the NE address, which I can't reach? @mikegalsworthy @BylinesNetwork @YorksBylines @NWBylines @NEBylines @WEBylines
@mikegalsworthy @BylinesNetwork @YorksBylines @NWBylines @NEBylines @WEBylines that's cool and all, but you'll need to interact if you want to get reach.

How will you measure the effect on your business of creating your Mastodon instance and publishing to the Fediverse? What metrics would make this move a "success?"

What, if anything, would you want to change about Mastodon, etc. in order to better serve the unique needs of publishers like yourselves?
