Great, Mastodon is really starting to be able to replace much more of Twitter now. The only thing i miss from Twitter was the local accounts I followed for info, will be a while before they all abandon and move over, but hopefully in the end.
You can use third party frontends like Nitter on Web or Fritter/Squawker on Android (available on F-Droid) to still follow accounts for info without the requirement of having an account anywhere. With the condition that viewing is the only thing you can do.
I left Twitter over an year ago and I use the frontends I mentioned to follow about 20 accounts for info on varied topics.
Thank you. I left Twitter when the petulent child took over, but I lament not being able to read local emergency info. I'll check these out.
If you just want to follow and dont care to interact look https://bird.makeup
It also seems much higher in overall quality, at least from my limited exposure. I'm still trying to navigate and find people to subscribe to.
