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 (πŸ‘‹πŸ» @heiseBotti) and none on #Pixelfed, #Lemmy, #Piefed, #Misskey & Co. Are there really none there, or did I miss some?Source: fingolas.eu/fediverse/overview@fediverse

Media organizations typically don't want to post (only) to discussion groups, they want to provide a way to follow them as organizations.

That being said, @heiseonline@social.heise.de does sometimes mention threadiverse communities in its posts so they appear in those communities.

    In a perfect world, all media organIationa would have their own instances (tied to their domains) for each network type (threadiverse, micro logging, video, short form video) and these instances would be used for both content distribution (official NYT mastadon feed) and for validation of journalists.

    The non-profit foundations that manage these networks could provide managed services to raise more money for development (beyond donations).

    This is the part of the internet that we have forgotten. Everyone is supposed to be their own little island but they all connect. If I want news I shouldn’t have to go to Facebook, I should have to go to the news org.

    This is why the Fediverse has been thriving by imitating monolithic platforms like Reddit or Twitter but doing so in a way that domains (aka β€œsites” are still all their own.

    I shouldn’t have to go to Reddit to get to CNN, I should have to go to CNN to get CNN. CNN should not join Lemmy, CNN should host a Lemmy instance and have communities for topics and programs, and its users should only be people who work there. And that should all be federated out for the rest of us to interact with.

    (CNN was the quickest news org name to type and I wasn’t about to use Fox as an example)

    This is why RSS is/was so important. RSS readers curate what a user wants to catch up on or follow, right from the sources. Having your own reader (not Feedly, its too big really) means you choose who to directly follow. You click through to them. Back in the day Technorati provided what was trending and big headlines r busy hashtags. So a kind of watchtower. All links went directly to the original content.

  • @4am not sure about Fox, but @CNN is already here, technically 😁 Just that Lemmy provides no way on viewing anything else than communities/groups and whatever that account posted in these.There are a bunch of news accounts on Flipboard that have the federation enabled in this list. If you're on Mastodon, Friendica, Mbin and probably Piefed too, you should be able to follow them too.@Skiluros

    What do you mean by verified? I'm not sure there's such a thing as "verification" on Lemmy, at least.

    @mho @heiseBotti @fediverse Bluesky uses the AT protocol, not the ActivityPub protocol and I don't think Bluesky is connected in any way to the Fediverse. Threads, however, is connected to the Fediverse.

    Bluesky accts federate with mastodon and vice versa. Not sure about other fediverse apps.

    @stig I really do not see how your assertion is accurate. Bluesky uses the AT protocol while the Fediverse uses the ActivityPub protocol. While Meta has connected Threads to the Fediverse via ActivityPub, Bluesky is not connected to the Fediverse. Only way I know create some some exchange between Bluesky and Mastodon is thru the 3rd-party platform Bridgy Fed.

    Yes you're right, but bridgey fed is reasonably effective. I share all my mastodon posts into BS via that but BS has a 300 char limit which is miserly so cuts them off a bit. I agree totally that AT should be more easily compatible with Activity Pub but the tech is slightly different. There are people in AP dev circles who think AT is more efficient and versatile but I wouldn't know.

    Bluesky doesn't count.

    I don't see why a media organisation would use lemmy. Unless if it's via the wordpress or another integration.

    @mho So it's possible for Thread users to follow people in the Fediverse now? And they actual moderate their servers, respect data privacy and copyrights? @heiseBotti @fediverse

    @jill @heiseBotti @fediverse No, it isn't. But that doesn't make something part of the #Fediverse, does it? Try following someone with a Peertube-account for example. I dind't find a way, yet it's still a part of the #Fediverse..I'd say: Fediverse = "connected via ActivityPub"

    @mho Disagree.Because it does. And I am already following people on PeerTube, works just fine!I've to say, reducing the Fediverse, its development, its history and many supporting different software and diverse communities to a protocol, is, to be frank, just ignorant for an editor of an on tech focused online magazine. You should know better in 2025.@heiseBotti @fediverse

    @jill @heiseBotti @fediverse And if it's not "just" about the protocol: Who gets to decide about the definition? The people on #Mastodon? The ones on #Misskey? Or Lemmy? And why not the ones on #Threads, which could be soon the biggest part of it (the protocol, I mean)?

    @mho We are getting off track. I'd say, don't call it "Fediverse" in your original post, but e.g. "software using activity pub", if that is what you are referring to and if you don't want to be misunderstood. Regarding the Fediverse and what it stand for as its self-conception built over the years by so many individuals and communities which widely agree upon, my above mentioned remarks still apply.@heiseBotti @fediverse

    @mho @heiseBotti @fediverseI kinda think there's 4 levels to media being here.1. having an account on some other server2. running your own server just for news feeds etc3. running your own server for staff4. posting native AP articles ala #ghost

    @mho @heiseBotti @fediverse you can add β€ͺ@novaramedia.com‬ on Bluesky (also bridged to Mastodon) - it’s an independent left wing media organisation from the UK
