Okay... it seems Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the World Wide Web, has just joined the Fediverse at:

➡️ @timbl

(For those wondering about verification, this is genuine as far as I can tell. The account is on the w3c server and they only allow manually verified signups, plus the verified account of the w3c is following him.)

Thank you to @vmstan for the headsup about this!

Can I ask a favour?

There has been much interest in #PeerTube, the Fediverse's video platform. It's really cool and its accounts can be followed from Mastodon etc.

However, PeerTubers sometimes don't get followers and views, and they need followers for their videos to be noticed/searchable by the Fediverse's federation system, so it's catch-22.

This cycle would be broken if more people followed PeerTubers, so here's a thread of some active accounts to follow! (And feel free to share!)

If you want to instantly add your own personal account to a Mastodon/Fediverse directory, I can recommend this one:

➡️ fediverse.info/explore/people

It's run by @dansup who created @pixelfed

Here's how to sign up there:

1. Add #Fedi22 to your profile description
2. Add the hashtags you want to be listed under to your profile description
3. Go to fediverse.info/explore/people and click on "Add Account" at the top.

(My own directory is manually maintained and is more for accounts on specific topics.)

@FediFollows @dansup @pixelfed this is such a convoluted way to add one’s profile to it. I came here as an alternative to twitter, and I have to follow 4 steps recipe in mobile. Can you make it so we can do that with a single button?

aleksf

@FediFollows @dansup @pixelfed or a simple url that we can click to do all of that complicated stuff?

credo

@FediFollows @dansup @pixelfed I don’t understand. What is the point of this directory? Not being deliberately obtuse.. just new here. I would think something like this might be nice to help track one individual over multiple instances and time.. but it doesn’t look like that’s the purpose.

Just a reminder of a couple of things:

- You don't have to wait for me to randomly post interesting accounts to follow. I have a website at fedi.directory which has all the recommendations sorted into categories.

- There are other #Fediverse directory sites such as the excellent Trunk at communitywiki.org/trunk and the splendid Fediverse.info at fediverse.info/explore/people. These other directories focus more on personal accounts, while FediFollows tends towards specialist accounts.
