Newsmast brings curated ‘communities’ to the open source Twitter/X alternative Mastodon


An organization called Newsmast is introducing a new approach to decentralized social media with the launch of an updated version of its Mastodon mobile

The idea is to offer Mastodon users a way to connect with, follow, and join topic-based timelines, called Communities, that can help them make better sense of content scattered across the distributed social web. Newsmast has created communities across a number of larger categories, like Government & Politics, Business & Work, Science, Technology, Culture, Sports, Lifestyle, and more, which users can opt to follow in its app. “The community timelines bring a wealth of curated content, so people can explore new topics, make connections and join the conversation,” said Newsmast co-founder Michael Foster, in an announcement shared with TechCrunch.
