@jentaub Is there a way to filter or find and follow all of the user accounts that mainly post about sports/entertainment/music etc? I want to get away from the bird app and try to replicate the feed here thst I had there but it’s difficult to find what I’m looking for.
@stevenmayfield @jentaub Good luck with sports news. I've searched high and low for that. It's mildly surprising that not a single national ESPN reporter is on here. I'd be curious for some enterprising journalist to do a peek into that...
@jentaub what are the best accounts (are they called accounts?) here covering Ukraine and the revolution in Iran?

@Shachar @jentaub

@mastodonmigration posted a fantastic list of accounts covering #Ukraine 🇺🇦 this morning!

@jentaub yay! I found one of my favouritest people! Hello Jen Taub! 🙏
@jentaub no stalker-ish intent, but your content is the reason I'm on this app! No pressure, though... 😂
@jentaub When do we dock at Puerto Vallarta? Is Isaac single?

@kg92x

We dock at dusk. Isaac is single, for now

@jentaub can you make lists here? Like Legal, Sports etc.
@jentaub Well, since you asked--looks like we can't do this per the FAQ, but just in case: An account I follow on the birdsite provides me their Mastodon link. I follow it to their Mastodon account. But since it's on a different server than my account, I'm not logged in over there, and can't follow them. I need to thus search for them using my own account on my server. Is that right? Any work-around?
@Marc @jentaub related to this Q, I’ve noticed that I can’t see who the people I follow are following when they’re on a diff server. Didn’t consider this when I chose my server. Any way to get around this?
@jentaub 🤣 I probably need a Ted Talk…
@jentaub When I find an account I followed on Twitter and click to see who they’re ‘following’, there are a lot of follows that say something like “other follows not shown because they’re on a different server.” Is there a way to see these as it would make things easier to find people?

@klaun

yes. There’s a wonderful list of people to follow that @WalterShaub put together

@jentaub So happy to see you here. Elon booted me off Twitter yesterday. Same with a boatload of journalists, so I feel like i’m in good company.
@jentaub Can you please explain what a "server" is in the context of Mastadon as I have no idea how to find stories of interest despite being here for two weeks as well!
@jentaub Thank you! It a bit of a learning curve but basically user friendly.
