People / Communities on Mastodon and Lemmy
Leaving Reddit and Twitter, trying to find some sources in the Fediverse to keep up to speed with the invasion of Ukraine.
Anyone have recommendations for people on Mastodon or communities here on Lemmy that are reliable and up to date?
Lemmy:
ukraine@sopuli.xyz Ukraine@kbin.social Ukraine_UA@kbin.social russo_ukrainian_war@lemmy.world ukraine@lemmit.online war@group.lt ukraine@lemmy.world
I just found out about this one today: russo_ukrainian_war@lemmy.world
There is also https://feddit.de/c/ukrainekrieg (but in German).
The first one is the mod doing a lot of the heavy lifting and low engagement. but a lot of up to date links.
That first one is perfect, thank you for sharing it
Here's some of the Mastodon accounts I've found so far for anyone coming here looking for the same. Can't speak to the content yet, because I haven't had the time to vet them all, ymmv:
