If you're interested in particular topics, you can join Fediverse groups. They work like this:

1. Join a group by following its account, leave by unfollowing
2. Posts from that group will start appearing in your timeline
3. Post to a group by mentioning it in a public post

The groups work via third party services, the most popular ones at the moment are https://chirp.social and https://a.gup.pe.

@feditips so, they're basically the same as following a hashtag, but over multiple instances?

@feditips I did not know these existed! Thank you!

@feditips

You can start your own scratch group by all using a hashtag and following it.

@feditips
Learning something new everyday #Mastodon and #Fediverse having new features from a third-party provider is always impressive to me as opposed to the lockdown of #Twitter and their api.

@feditips - What about tools for moderation?

@feditips I’m running @fediversenews through Friendica.

@feditips that's the clearest post yet from a Mastodon admin!
