NONE OF THESE ACCOUNTS ARE BLANK! If an account looks blank to you, it's because no one from your server follows it yet. After you follow an account, its posts will start gradually showing up on your server.

@FediFollows Thanks for this big list!
Some accounts like @bundestag seem to have left the Fediverse - they posted in autumn last year for the last time.

@FediFollows

helmholtz.social is a complete instance for many of the Helmholtz research institutes

[fedifollows@social.growyourown.services]

@NatureMC

Accounts sometimes have periods of inactivity rather than permanently leaving. There is no harm following such an account as there is no algorithm here, and following may encourage accounts to start posting again.

I try to give accounts a year before I stop listing them. It's especially common now that social media is in such flux, some accounts even reactivate years later.

[fedifollows@social.growyourown.services]

@gelbphoenix

Thank you! I have added them to the list!

[naturemc@mastodon.online]

@FediFollows Yes, of course you can do that.
But I followed them already a bit longer and see that they communicate elsewhere. I don't have your patience.

(And I have a bsky account only for following all the interesting people who left the Fediverse and won't come back).

@FediFollows

You can add @sachsenanhalt for the government of Sachsen-Anhalt. @social.sachsen-anhalt is their own instance and has several of the ministries
