@yatoimtop@greatview.video

Makes animated shorts

@WEATHERISHAPPENING@weatherishappening.network

The only weather network that places focus on repenting to your weather lords.

@Iancylkowski@pixelfed.social

Pretty photos of Britain

@wikipediahaiku@botsin.space

in addition to having one of the most accurate account id I have ever seen, it makes haikus from 14-syllable Wikipedia pages. Some of them are even good!

@reece@video.canadiancivil.com

Posts short but fascinating videos about urban transit.

@ohtheurbanity@video.canadiancivil.com

Also does videos about urban transit

@FediVideo@social.growyourown.services

Boosts random videos on the fediverse. I found most of the peertube channels on here through this bot. I even caught a couple livestreams this way.

@transportevolved@peertube.tv

Yet more transit content. This time, it's from a tech angle! Idk why I am such a sucker for this genre.

@FoxNews@brands.town

going to copy/paste their description here:

Follow the Mastodon Network™'s #1 fox news network, delivering you breaking news, insightful analysis, and must-see videos about foxes!

@georgetakei@universeodon.com

Takei is pretty active on here. Posts a lot of news and gay memes.

@vncresolver@fedi.computernewb.com

Posts screenshots from random insecure servers every hour. About a month ago it posted a link to a computer controlling someone's hot tub. It was an interesting day. Usually it's nothing, but sometimes you see medical tech, people's security systems, etc.

@dungeons@mastodon.social

a bot that dungeon-crawls following the result of its polls.

@galaxy@botsin.space

Space is cool. Photos of space are also cool.

@mikefurtak@makertube.net

Makes music with modular synths

@TechConnectify@mas.to

I am shocked at how much of my fedi circle also is a fan of Technology Connections. He's pretty active on here, and not just to promote his yt

Every single one of those links points to a 404 error. Not always with the same design. Is it me?

[–] ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Huh. Did not notice that it shows up as a link. I did not intend them to be links.

You should just plug them into your search bar to find them, although you really should do it from Mastodon. Pixelfed and Peertube do not directly federate with Lemmy.

Fwiw RMTransit is also on YouTube and the creator-owned platform Nebula. So is @notjustbikes@notjustbikes.com, which is probably the granddaddy channel of that particular niche.

For the latter, there's also !notjustbikes@feddit.nl.
