      Yes this. It’s great that a national news source is embracing the fediverse. This is their instance for those who haven’t seen it.

      It’s an experiment set for 6 months, but the more people who support it the more likely it will become permanent.

        the BBC loves to promote racial and ethnic hatred towards minorities, they should be banned from the fediverse

        You basically resume what the problem is with mastodon.

      Neil Gaiman is also on mastodon (and it wouldn’t surprise me if some of the other authors in his cohort are too) though his main social media for major interactions is still Tumblr (which depending on your opinion of the Good Omens fandom, is either a blessing or a curse)

    Not sure how we’re defining ‘eminent’, but George Takei has been on Mastodon for a while too

      And Jeri Ryan, both of which are rather active too, which is more than many tech people who crept over to Twitter can say because they have more of a following there.

    There’s also the European Commission (as in the EU), and the Fedora Project (as in Fedora Linux).

    Ok, but how can I subscribe to them from my lemmy.world account from within Sync app on Android. Is that even possible? Yet?

      You can subscribe on the app the same way as if they were on lemmy.world. When you search in the app, it shows results from all across the fediverse

        So I click the link. It opens in a webview. I see @[email protected] there so copy it. I go back out of the webview so I can see my search button. I paste that link in there. “This sub has no posts…retry” Am I doing it wrong? Or is this just a godawful UX?

          I don’t think Lemmy search works for anything but communities. You’re trying to use the search to look for a user profile.

            It’s also a mastodon account, which might not be supported by Lemmy apps?
