Latest dotSocial podcast has me wondering if it'd be cool to be able to have Administrators create "topics" in Trending and support inviting specific people to be curators of those topics on the local mastodon instance?

@thisismissem oooh I like that idea! Much better than the "algorithmic" approach.
In many ways fedi is about curation and tending to the needs of a local community, and that's one more way this could be done.
@rysiek @thisismissem I absolutely love that idea.
check out @newsmast, they are going big on curated feeds, and doing some really cool work. They're about to release more updates and are working on API support as well. I'll be writing more about it next week

Hi all and thanks Fediverse Report for tagging us.
It's right, we are big on curated feeds - we've built a whole Mastodon app centered around them! Soon you won't need a Newsmast account to access them, so keep an eye on our channels for when our launches go live.

We're also looking at bringing more volunteers on board to help shape our communities and will be launching a volunteer program in February. If you're interested, let us know and we can get in touch closer to the time.
