📣 It’s been a while since we’ve federated a batch of publishers — so to make up for it, here are 250, and they’re big ones.
Today, we’re bringing names like @abc, @RollingStone, @forbes, @BleacherReport, @NationalGeographic and @newyorktimes to the fediverse. They join the 174 profiles we’ve already federated, which include everyone from @19thnews to @Vox
Here’s a blogpost with more details on this latest batch of publications that cover news, business, cooking, home design, politics, sports, science and more. Follow their Magazine feeds if you’re only interested in one topic, or their whole profiles if you want the lot. The spreadsheet below lists out all federated accounts.

your spreadsheet row 84, 85 are duplicate ?
@[email protected] SO much CNET! Thanks for flagging, we’ll get that corrected!
@[email protected]
also 313 and 314@[email protected] All fixed now!
@[email protected] Thank you so much! Hopefully, @[email protected] will also be federated soon.
@[email protected] Great! @abc @RollingStone @forbes @BleacherReport @NationalGeographic @newyorktimes @19thnews @Vox
@[email protected] There’s something for almost everyone in there!
@[email protected] I missed many so much and think this is a good way for media to close at the crap platforms.
Just one problem: I see lots of followers but empty accounts, no posts (only the NYT has one post). Why are they empty? Is the federation too fresh?@[email protected] You won’t see content in any of the accounts until someone from your server follows them! One tip we love is to search on Mastodon for the profile name (e.g. @RollingStone) and that will bring up a list of topical Magazines (music, TV, politics, etc) so you can follow only the things you’re most interested in.
@[email protected] Thank you for the quick answer. This seems to be one of the weaknesses of the Fediverse. For people mostly don’t follow accounts with no posts.
I’m on one of the biggest main instances. But via the search I find a well-filled RollingStones account (unclear whether RSS or the medium itself): @[email protected]
I wait for the day when media open their own instances. But Flipboard is already a good way to make them appetite. I’ll try more …@[email protected] With that account we see no recent updates after the beginning of this year — are you seeing the same?
@[email protected] Now as you say it: Oh yes, nothing since January. Seems to be one of these given-up projects.
@[email protected] I just tested it with @newyorktimes … it’s indeed this “federation too fresh” problem of the Fediverse. First I saw only 1 post. Then I followed them, a second post came in. Now, after some minutes, I see their stream. Great.
It works like this: Up from following, you see everything they post after that time. But you don’t see the posts before you followed.
Unfortunately, this happens often in the Fediverse, also with new instances. It takes some days.
Thank you for your help!@[email protected] Of course! Happy browsing!
@[email protected] Thanks for the spreadsheet, really helps so know these accounts in Fedi exist. Subscribing to several right away.
@[email protected] That’s great! If you search for the name of the account you are interested in, that should bring up all the Magazines they are curating — then you can follow the profile for everything, or just specific Magazines if you’re only interested in a specific topic. It’s great for publications that publish a lot, across a range of different subject areas, so it won’t flood your feed with everything!
@[email protected] @abc @RollingStone @forbes @BleacherReport @NationalGeographic @newyorktimes @19thnews @Vox
Nat Geo is now owned by Disney, which is heavy on censorship. It used to be great, but now is highly questionable.
@[email protected] They have a very tiny team these days as well, unfortunately, but we still do see some great stories from them! We have a lot of science publications federated if NatGeo isn’t for you — let us know if there’s one you particularly love!
@[email protected] Thank you so much. Much of their shows have been censored or removed by Disney and in some cases, I have to double-subscribe to see anything.
I love all sort sorts history (I learned a lot about the Gospel of Judas until that video was removed), and NatGeo got me interested in evolution, such as wolf-like proto-whales, how one strange creature branched out to evolve into horses, hippos, and elephants, and all the proto humans that did not make it (or not–homo sapiens bred them in)
@Moral_Gutpunch On the history front, we have @Smithsonianmag and we thought we had Atlas Obscura but it doesn’t seem to be there — will explore for you and let you know! We really like @KnowableMag (not a federated but active themselves on here!), @DiscoverMag and @ConversationUS (active on here at @TheConversationUS).
@[email protected] Federating @[email protected] would be great! @[email protected]
@[email protected] @abc @RollingStone @forbes @BleacherReport @NationalGeographic @newyorktimes @19thnews @Vox Could you please federate the TMZ and PageSix Flipboard publishers? Would make so may folks happy on Mastodon! 😁
@[email protected] So excited to see so many awesome publishers added to the Fediverse!
