As we are on Feddit.uk and the Twitter equivalents can be tricky until you build your free, let’s have some Brits to follow (or those living here in Britland). Quite a few seem to have gone to mastodonapp.uk.

OK, that started with enthusiasm and petered out quickly. So here are some other less famous people doing British stuff (heavily skewed to my interests):

So have at it.

edit: fixing the links

    Yeah, I can’t decide if I am just old school, stuck in my Web 1.0 ways of forums and blogs or if I just haven’t given it a proper go. I really enjoyed Instagram though so perhaps it’s just the latter.

    I think the problem with the Fediverse micro-blogging services is that they don’t have the numbers and it’s a bit more clunky - you have to bills your own feed, there’s no “handy” algorithm.

    I signed up to Mastodon but just didn’t get it and I found Lemmy much easier to get into. It may be just me preferring a more forum-based approach bit others have highlighted how following communities is much easier than following individuals, as it gets you a steady stream of posts pretty quickly.

    I have signed up with Calckey and am enjoying the features a lot more, as it integrates perfectly well with Mastodon I may settle there. Just need to populate my feeds…

      Yeah, the All feed wasn’t helpful, so how am I supposed of discover stuff. It seems like its only good once your going, hut its a slog to get there.

      I definitely click more with Lemmys style of things as well.

      Maybe I should check out Calckey again, but whichever instance I tried before was all Japanese posts, so I only last 5 mins haha.

        Calckey is a fork of Misskey, which is popular in Japan, but I haven’t seen any Japanese posts on Calckey.

            Sounds it. Give Calckey a go - I haven’t got to grips with half it’s features but Antennas are really useful for following keywords (including hashtags).
