I see quite a lot of #Science posts expressing concern if The Public will follow their authors' #TwitterMigration over on here.

Here's the thing: they don't even have to. Every #Mastodon account has an #RSS feed. For example, here's mine:
https://mstdn.social/@rysiek.rss

Every hashtag has an RSS feed as well (as seen from a given instance), for example:
https://mstdn.social/tags/Science.rss

Your audiences can follow you without ever setting up an account on fedi, with any RSS reader.

Obviously #Fediverse is more than just Mastodon. I am not sure if #Pleroma and #Misskey offer RSS feeds of accounts and hashtags — would love input here!

I know some other fedi instance software also does offer RSS feeds. For example, @Castopod does: https://podcast.tomasino.org/@SolarpunkPrompts/feed.xml

Anyone who knows about RSS support in other fedi instance software, please do jump in and share!

@Castopod how are people "bookmarking" individual posts and threads? I started a folder in my browser bookmarks but I'm sure there are other methods

favourites are stored in a list. I think your search does look through them. There is at least a chronological scroll through them. I sense there should be some tool out there to manage favourites via the api.

I found bookmarks on a browser. But tell me about Biotech Without Borders. I'm a nerd, and a Swiftie, but try to keep those low key.

I am a Taylor Swift fan and I'm not afraid to say it. Just like Van Halen, I'm attached to her older stuff.

Also an engineer but I work with scientists in a medical research lab. They're all super smart so I'm always interested in keeping up on biochem science.

But... I realize we have a common mission - I also run a nonprofit that includes a virtual makerspace to lure military veterans closer to real science. It's been hard to compete with the "do your own research" crowd but I haven't given up yet.

if i post stuff about Biotech without Borders it'll likely be from this account. If you're ever in the NYC area I'd be happy to show you the space.

@Smootasaurus yes we are a community lab. You can read more about it here in the #summerschool presentation I did on it: Community biology as an organizational framework for social change: a perspective from Biotech Without Borders
