Academics! Science people! π π©βπ¬ π¨βπ¬ There are some curated lists of academics and scientists to follow on Mastodon here: β‘οΈ https://github.com/nathanlesage/academics-on-mastodon (Originally shared by @kcarruthers but reposted so that I can pin the link on my account)

RSS fans! You can get RSS feeds of any specific tag in https://fedi.directory by adding /feed/ to the end of the tag's URL. For example the tag for "Gardening" is at the URL: https://fedi.directory/tag/gardening/ ...so if you wanted to use RSS to track all new gardening accounts, the feed would be: https://fedi.directory/tag/gardening/feed/ When new accounts are added to tags you follow like this, they will appear in your RSS feed.

Hey, you might want to check out the other directories on here too. The newest one is Fediverse.info's at: β‘οΈ https://fediverse.info/explore/people It works in a really clever way, it's sort of self-service: You fill in your own hashtags on your profile, then you add a special hashtag too so that Fediverse.info notices you, then you submit your profile. It's a very quick submission process because of this. More instructions on the site!

@FediFollows reminds me of how Yahoo! worked when it was the best way to search the web.

Hello new people! π I run a human-curated directory of interesting accounts to follow on here: β‘οΈ https://fedi.directory Do you have an account that posts a lot about a particular topic? Would you like to be listed in the directory? If so, reply or @ me or send me a DM and let me know! (The site only went live a few days ago so some topics are less populated than others, but this is why I am working on expanding it!) Boosts appreciated :blobcat:

p.s. If your server doesn't support tag follows yet, it is being rolled out to everyone in the next update, which is due out soon.

WordPress advice needed π€ I'm trying to find a way to get a "copy to clipboard" button onto fedi.directory, and lots of people suggested this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/copy-the-code/ Any red flags here? I really just need a simple button next to addresses so that people can quickly copy-and-paste them, especially on phones where selecting stuff is a bit more fiddly.

Okay, so... I have a bit of an announcement. I've created a website for FediFollows which has all the accounts I've ever recommended (that are still working!) organised into nice topics and tags: β‘οΈ https://fedi.directory You can browse the main directory or the top 100 tags page. (Also considering adding an "all tags" page, if there's demand.) Please let me know what you think! Any feedback very welcome π (This is why I haven't posted in a few days! π )

@FediFollows @AntennaPod @fdroidorg Before, I used another podcast app on android that suffered from multiple glitches and wouldn't reliably autoplay when connecting to my car's Bluetooth. I've had no such issues with Antennapod, it's a simple straightforward podcast app that just works.
