Es gibt ein größeres Update der Mastodon-Listen. Die Webanwendung ist nun endlich mehrsprachig und es wurden vier neue Listen für die Niederlande hinzugefügt.
Beispielsweise gibt es 16.333 Toots von niederländischen Behörden: mastodon-listen.playground.54g.

Außerdem gibt es jetzt auch eine Liste mit 14 Volkshochschulen und insgesamt 5.707 Toots: mastodon-listen.playground.54g.

Hinzu kommt eine Liste mit 18 Bibliotheken, die insgesamt 12.793 Toots und 14.397 Follower verzeichnen: mastodon-listen.playground.54g.

Insgesamt gibt es damit 22 Listen. Alle Daten stammen nach wie vor aus Wikidata. Wenn vorhanden, wird auch der englische Name der Institutionen täglich aktualisiert. Feedback und Ideen sind wie immer willkommen.
