Some account lists to help people get started on Mastodon/Sharkey
Some accounts to get your feed going
I put together and made public several lists of accounts by topic to try to help newcomers to Mastodon/Sharkey. It may be more useful to people on some of the *key instances, but it's closer to home this way regardless.
As I mention, I tried to keep this to non-personal accounts to not bother people, so many of the options are larger media outlets that some may not care for. However that's not unlike some of the big social media sites, so nothing new there.
If you've found this helpful, pass it along, or better still: if you're on one of the *key instances, put together and publish some lists of your own (with individuals' permission if including them) to help others.

I follow where you're coming from.
I can see the perks to the Bluesky option, but given it's centralized, venture capital funded (and they're already trying to figure out monetization), and so forth, I'm personally not inclined to rely on much related to it.
However, I'm very aware of the hurdles the option I shared present to those unfamiliar with all of this, and why they'd choose otherwise. Then again, we're here using this stuff, I'm posting from a microblogging instance (Sharkey) to you, and so my posts are also indirectly for others on other microblogging instances (like those using Mastodon).
For anyone these replies may reach on a Mastodon instance, using Phanpy is much simpler. It's just going to Phanpy.social, logging in with their info, and they're set to use it. Much like someone on Lemmy can go to Phtn.app and give Photon a try.
All that said it would be preferable if there was a guest accessible version to Phanpy (or any similar catch up-style service for fediverse stuff), without a doubt.
