Short description
Welcome to Newsmast Community Feeds. Easy-to-follow curated feeds of posts from all over the Fediverse, organised into knowledge-sharing communities.
Long description
Welcome to Newsmast Channels (previously Community Feeds), published by Newsmast. Find our knowledge-sharing communities here - now available as easy-to-follow, curated feeds bringing together posts from across the Fediverse. All our Channels are now live.

Our Channels are built around the topics that matter to you, from Activism to Artificial Intelligence, Breaking News to Biology, Climate Change to Creative Arts. You can see the Channels in action at newsmast.org.

Newsmast Channels are hand built through a mix of hashtags, follows, filters and mutes.

How to use this server

Follow a Channel account and all this curated content will flow into your timeline. Too much for your home feed? Just create a list to follow a Channel account and exclude that account from your home timeline.

To post to a Newsmast Channel, just add the relevant hashtag to your post, found in the account’s bio.

How we make Newsmast Channels

We use hashtag relays to pull in content from all over the Fediverse. As a first step we work to filter out all NSFW, hate speech and crypto content.

To make each Channel we put together a bunch of the best hashtags related to the topic. Next we search the Fediverse for notable, relevant accounts posting regularly - often they don’t add hashtags. We filter out unrelated posts through Channel specific hashtag and keyword filters. Finally we mute or block accounts which regularly post unrelated, poor quality or spam content to those hashtags.

All of this has been built from scratch by our human team who update and maintain the curated Channels, with the help of the community, keeping the Channels fresh and dynamic.

We don’t use algorithms or AI to drive our Channels and we don’t track where you spend your time. Your data is yours. Simple.

The end result is a simple way to get Fediverse content on the topics that matter to you direct to your lists or Home timeline.
