It's been a busy couple of weeks here at the Newsmast Foundation.
After visiting #FediMTL in Montréal last week, then going straight to Wales for the launch of the Tŵt app with @teamtoot , then to Copenhagen for Rebuild, whilst attending @fediforum online, you might think we're going to quiet down for the next couple of weeks 👀
Wrong!
We're still working hard to bring more people meaningful community on the Social Web ⚡️
Local community is essential.
At the Newsmast Foundation, we're working to support local communities by providing digital spaces for them to come together. Places they can organise, and inform as a collective.
The Community Power report by Local Trust amplifies our message, that by providing space to come together, communities can strengthen beyond their differences.

"In Europe and worldwide, people are recognising that news publishers, progressive content creators, non-profits and civic society rely on platforms that don’t share our values. Platforms which optimise algorithms for surveillance, outrage and profit."

We’re reaching a lot of new people this year, so here’s a re-introduction to what we’re about. The Newsmast Foundation is a non-profit, public-interest organisation building open, ethical digital infrastructure for media, institutions and communities…Michael Foster (Paths & Patches)
📢 “What are Community Feeds? Why has my post been boosted?”
You make a post, add a hashtag, and it’s immediately boosted by one of our Community Feeds - plus you get a notification. What’s going on?
We’re Newsmast and we’re all about knowledge sharing. We’ve built topical Communities, spaces that anyone can dip in and out of to get involved in the things they care about. Communities combine and curate posts from all over the Fediverse into an easy to access single source.
