I wish that Mastodon had the "Starter Pack" functionality that Bluesky has built. It's a really smooth way to build communities without relying on algorithmic feeds.

A post to traverse the Fediverse & beyond
Third time's a charm: This post can be seen with #Mastodon, #Bluesky, #Sharkey, #Mbin, #Lemmy, #Friendica, #Hubzilla, #Hometown, #Akkoma & more.
Please share it wherever you see it in the #Fediverse

Obviously due to the distributed nature of the Fediverse it's never going to be possible to tell how many UK users have joined Mastodon/Firefish/Fedi in the last week or so.
But I'd be curious to know if anecdotally anyone thinks there have been an uptick in new UK accounts here.
Another week goes by with no idea who owns #Bluesky.
A month ago they announced they were finalizing a deal lead by Bain Capital (yes that Bain Capital) valuing the company at $700M.
No information on who the investors are was been shared
Since then crickets.
So, who now owns Bluesky?
Maybe if you are over there, ask them. See what you can find out. Why is it being kept a secret?
Tech media, do your job.
Let's try it again: This post from #Mastodon can reach the whole #Fediverse, #Bluesky & more. That's #Sharkey, #Pixefeld (hence the pic), #Mbin, #Lemmy, #Friendica, #Hometown, #Akkoma... How far can it go?
Please share it, wherever you see it! #SocialMedia

I bridged to #Bluesky because there's some people that I want to follow and that only post there. This also means that if you're on Bluesky, you can see my posts.
If you read any of my posts on Bluesky, keep in mind that links may be altered. So please read my posts on mstdn.social.
Also, if you don't like to be tagged bcs of that bridge, please do inform me (or block me from tagging you). I mean no harm, but the bridge does funny things sometimes.
Noch auf der Suche nach #News und offiziellen Accounts von Medien hier auf #Mastodon und im #Fediverse?
Meine immer aktuelle Tabelle enthält jetzt nicht nur Accounts auf Mastodon und anderen Fediverse-Diensten, sondern auch welche auf #Flipboard, #Threads und #Bluesky – allesamt von hier abrufbar.
Insgesamt sind es jetzt 942.
➡️ https://fingolas.eu/fediverse/overview.html
(hinter dem "Custom Search Builder" links darüber gibt's eine mächtige Suche)
I have now found 1070 verified accounts from media organizations in the #Fediverse, but only on #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #Threads, #Bluesky, #Ghost and #Peertube.
Just one is on #Sharkey (👋🏻 @heiseBotti) and none on #Pixelfed, #Lemmy, #Piefed, #Misskey & Co. Are there really none there, or did I miss some?
