The National Library of Finland (my employer, part of the University of Helsinki) started a Mastodon instance at some.kansalliskirjasto.fi . There are two active accounts for services provided by the library: @Finto and @julkaisuarkistot .

This is an experiment; other services may follow. There is no "main" account for the library itself.

In parallel, the National Library has also created an account on Bluesky: @kansalliskirjasto.fi .
