@FediFollows Some more #Scottish accounts I'd like to add:

Genealogy: @ScottishGENES
Musicians: @julie @gillebride @ionafyfe @marcas
LGBT news: @angeidheal
Thank you! I will have a look at those!
It's a bit more difficult for me as I don't speak Portuguese, sorry! 😞
I have listed a few suggestions at https://fedi.directory/tag/portugal/ (the country) and https://fedi.directory/tag/portugues/ (the language)
@FediFollows Very Linux-centered, I see.
OK, then. Most Portuguese accounts I know (myself included, oc) post both in Portuguese and in English, which ought to give you the gist of the whole thing, but in case it doesn't (and for those that are Portuguese-only) what kind of vetting would you need to accept suggestions?
I generally list accounts that focus on a particular topic (not necessarily exclusively though).
I usually don't list general personal accounts as there are so many millions of people on here, and there are already directories for general accounts at https://communitywiki.org/trunk and https://fediverse.info/explore/people
Let me know if you have suggestions.
@FediFollows I know. I wasn't suggesting you to include me, don't worry. I was just giving me as an example of how many Portuguese accounts use language around here.
I think what you do is useful, and I was kinda hoping you'd have other Portuguese accounts I'd find interesting to follow.
And then I tought I could help you out; after all, I know of a few that you might find interesting. Like [email protected], an association of digital rights activists.
I've got a few more if you're interested
OK, dug them up.
There's [email protected], the news portal of a left-wing political party, the [email protected]
There's [email protected], a bot posting the stuff published by a tech portal, called, of course, Tuga Tech.
There's [email protected], an association of emergency situations' voluntaries, posting alerts and stuff.
There's [email protected], an association "promoting science, scientific culture and critical thinking".
(one more toot after this)
And there's [email protected], the account of a satirical news thing a-la The Onion.
Unfortunately other comedy-oriented accounts aren't posting any longer. Like [email protected] (the main competition of Impensa Falsa) and [email protected] (a very well-known comedian and media personality). Then again, that may change some time in the future, so...
There. That'd be a start, I guess.
Thank you so much for the suggestions and explanations, that's great! 🤩
I will have a look at them.
@FediFollows Hey!
Just found a new (to me) Portuguese account I thought you may find interesting: [email protected]
It's an account posting artwork found in Portuguese museums.
Canongate are awesome for publishing Scottish Literature.
They run their own server on here too! 🥰
