I have now found 1070 verified accounts from media organizations in the #Fediverse, but only on #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #Threads, #Bluesky, #Ghost and #Peertube.
Just one is on #Sharkey (👋🏻 @heiseBotti) and none on #Pixelfed, #Lemmy, #Piefed, #Misskey & Co. Are there really none there, or did I miss some?
What do you mean by verified? I’m not sure there’s such a thing as “verification” on Lemmy, at least.
Also, if the organisation shares their fediverse profile on their official website, you can consider them verified
Probably verification by the associated domain. At least this works on Mastodon and Friendica.

I, for example, also count it as verified if an organization links to their account on their website…
@mho Since when is Threads part of the Fediverse?
@mho So it’s possible for Thread users to follow people in the Fediverse now? And they actual moderate their servers, respect data privacy and copyrights?
No, it isn’t. But that doesn’t make something part of the #Fediverse, does it? Try following someone with a Peertube-account for example. I dind’t find a way, yet it’s still a part of the #Fediverse…
I’d say: Fediverse = “connected via ActivityPub”
@mho Disagree.
Because it does. And I am already following people on PeerTube, works just fine!
I’ve to say, reducing the Fediverse, its development, its history and many supporting different software and diverse communities to a protocol, is, to be frank, just ignorant for an editor of an on tech focused online magazine. You should know better in 2025.
@mho We are getting off track. I’d say, don’t call it “Fediverse” in your original post, but e.g. “software using activity pub”, if that is what you are referring to and if you don’t want to be misunderstood.
Regarding the Fediverse and what it stand for as its self-conception built over the years by so many individuals and communities which widely agree upon, my above mentioned remarks still apply.
No, I mean following an account from #Peertube.
@mho the image preview looks like great advertising for Flipboard.
@ProtonPrivacy@lemmy.world is quite likely the official org
Hilarious that that account’s made a single comment pushing back on classic lemmy hysteria/paranoia and then apparently left the platform.
https://netzpolitik.org/ is on Pixelfed at https://instapix.org/netzpolitik.org
@mho @fediverse and @antimidia and @submedia are both news organizations heavily using peertube
@mho @heiseBotti @fediverse you can add @novaramedia.com on Bluesky (also bridged to Mastodon) - it’s an independent left wing media organisation from the UK
I kinda think there’s 4 levels to media being here.
- having an account on some other server
- running your own server just for news feeds etc
- running your own server for staff
- posting native AP articles ala #ghost
@wjmaggos @mho @heiseBotti @fediverse We’re teetering between 2-3 with a dream of hitting 4 at some point.
@mho Das ist DER Fehler im Fediverse. Warum muss man für jeden Service einen eigenen Account haben?
Muss man überhaupt nicht, das ist tatsächlich der große Vorteil. Trotzdem gibt es Argumente dafür, zum Beispiel, weil verschiedene Dienste unterschiedliches ermöglichen: Zum Beispiel die hüpfenden Emojis von @heiseBotti
Nein, das sind unterschiedliche Dinge. Du kannst von deinem Mastodon-Account kein Peertube-Video veröffentlichen, dazu brauchst du den Account. Aber du kannst damit interagieren (linken, in der Timeline gucken, per P2P teilen etc.) und das ist der Vorteil.
Wer vorwiegend Bilder postet, sollte dafür keinen Mastodon-Account nutzen, bei Kurznachrichten dagegen schon. Das Tolle ist, dass alle trotzdem verknüpft sind. Die Softwares sind aber untereinander nicht austauschbar.@mho wir reden aneinander vorbei. Der Geburtsfehler ist, dass Identity nicht funktioniert. Anstatt eine eindeutige ID zu haben, hast du auf jeder Instanz eine andere. Und deshalb suchst du dir einen Wolf nach Medien im Fediverse. In atproto ist meine ID did:plc:k5ybhnnyl4zwq7ey3q3fogzt und sie kann beliebige Namen haben. Egal welcher Service, diese ID bleibt gleich.
