Launching Mastodon and not being able to see anything about the Baltimore incident might finally mark the time when I need to build a Fediverse service around the news.

@dimillian I saw @mekkaokereke post first, then The Guardian.

It’s still not on https://feditrends.com/ or my feedseer https://news.feedseer.com/

@dimillian
Who are you following though?
You don't need a new instance to see recent news, you simply need to follow the right sources and hashtags, surely?

@dimillian
Also … you know there's a Baltimore bridge incident … search for 'baltimore'?

@negative12dollarbill If I opened Mastodon first I would have probably not heard about it.

@negative12dollarbill@techhub.social avatar

@dimillian
OK so who are you following? Any major news sources like The Guardian for instance?

dimillian,
@dimillian@mastodon.social avatar

@negative12dollarbill I can follow as much news source I want, I follow also a ton of other people, so there is a high chance that if I don't open my timeline at the right time, I'll miss it.

@dimillian Saw it on Threads and Bluesky soon after opening the apps.

@dimillian that's why i integrated a RSS column in my client ^^

@dimillian@mastodon.social avatar

@textoo well actually https://github.com/Dimillian/IceCubesApp/pull/2006

But RSS is not enough IMO

textoo,
@textoo@mastodon.social avatar

@dimillian yes, it misses the social part, it only relies on your own choices of sources. But it's quite convenient in my case

@textoo @dimillian RSS uses the most sophisticated algorithm in the universe. Your 🧠

@thai_d_v @textoo IMO RSS + sorting it with some social context would be nice.

@dimillian @textoo you mean folder and tag?

@aulia sure but it's not surfaced at all in my timeline if I don't open it at the correct time exactly.
