What #Space Accounts are there in the #Fediverse ?

I run a bot @NASA - image of the day, but what else is there?

Anything related to #ESA, #NASA, #Mars, #SpaceX, that shares interesting facts, nice photos and pictures.

@Michael Vogel you mean like official ones? That would be great... is there anyone here who we could bother to suggest that at ESA / NASA, like some employee from either one of those? It'll then probably take a few years till they get is setup. :-P

Also, share my post. ;-)

The way I do it is using RSS Bridge to pull their FB or Twitter accounts and then add to my Friendica. Such as https://rss.trom.tf/?action=display&bridge=Facebook&context=User&u=NASA&media_type=all&limit=-1&format=Html - and I opened a feature request for Friendica to somehow, if possible, integrate RSS Bridge with Friendica. Would be amazing. Would mean that if someone wants to follow a FB page or Twitter or YTB account, they can copy paste the profile URL into the Friendica contacts and follow them via RSS. Would be an amazing feature.

@Tio for twitter I use nitter, but generally I know rss-bridge, nice tool.

In that sense, one can make Friendica pages that simply pull posts from fb, twitter and the like via rss bridge, and repost them on the Friendica page as "own posts". It is quite easy to do. Maybe I should make a few....but am busy as hell

Actually we are going to do that for our instance. We will mirror fb or twitter pages of important organizations like NASA and create separate pages for them all. So anyone can follow them on the fediverse. I think that's a great idea :).

@Tio@NASA - image of the day ups and downs... I don't mind them most the time, but flooding the Fediverse is not nice too.
in reply to utzer [Friendica]

I don't consider it as flooding at all, but a great way to get people to the Fediverse so they can easily follow such pages that are only on fb, twitter and the like. More great content :)

Looks good to me https://social.trom.tf/profile/nasa for most posts. And twitter looks perfectly fine for accounts.

And I can improve with some CSS tweaks :P

Well if they would put our server on a blocklist for mirroring several important science-based orgs so we can make more people use the amazing friendica, then it would say a lot about how the fediverse is yet another censorship machine. Actually that's what scares me about this approach with multiple islands, that the islands can cooperate to shut down any other island. I think the future is for sure something like scuttlebutt where the power is not in the hands of a few islands and their leaders, but in people's hands :D. In any case, I don't plan to flood Friendica, but I do plan to create several mirror pages for several important orgs.

Yes that's what we also plan, a selection.

@Michael Vogel yes, but preview photos would be great.
