Peter GleickA turning point. Mastodon is a far better source of information on the Russian situation now than Twitter. Follow the Russia and Ukraine hashtags.
Neo-Athenian Empire@petergleick Who are you following? I have been struggling to rebuild my Twitter information source.
Joseph Nobles@athenian_empire @petergleick You can follow the Russia and Ukraine hashtags and see the toots of people using them. From that, add to your follows. :)
@BoloBoffin @petergleick That only works if your instance knows about those posts. Mine is smaller and does not, I need credible people to follow.
Sibshops@athenian_empire @BoloBoffin @petergleick Unfortunately you may have to get an account on more than one instance.
@Sibshops Do you know of any Apps that handle that and suppress the redundancy? I don't like reading the same posts hours apart. It confuses my mental timeline.
@athenian_empire For me, the one account filters out the hashtags that the other account follows.
indri@athenian_empire @BoloBoffin @petergleick It's a bit more work but you can start by searching for a hashtag on mastodon.social to find accounts to follow.

@athenian_empire @BoloBoffin @petergleick Your instance needs to start using the hashtag relays. Can you talk to your admin about it?
they can add:
relay.fedi.buzz/tag/[TagNameHere]
…to their relays list (one for each tag) and it’ll start slurping them up.
trendlessindividual accounts can also follow @tag-[TagNameHere]@relay.fedi.buzz themselves
@trendless @athenian_empire I learned something today!
