@outofcontrol The server shouldn’t matter in the federated universe. The only advantage would be the local timeline would contain a lot of C++.

A group seems the best approach so I created one. 🤔 Try following @DiscussCPlusPlus and include it in your message.

We’ll see if it works.

@rmerriam @CppDiscuss If you look at Rud’s account, you will see a thread near the top asking how to create a Mastodon Group. The answer is to use a group server. More details in the thread @grafikrobot @anthonywilliams @taxorubio

@rmerriam @CppDiscuss @grafikrobot @anthonywilliams @taxorubio Thank you for the link. Looks like some possible solutions for other clients as well.

@outofcontrol I haven't come across a mastodon server for C++ devs. Following the #cpp and #cplusplus hashtags, making and following a list, and making or following a group seem to be the right options anyway. Whether such lists and group exists is a good question.

@outofcontrol Based on my followers, hachyderm and foostodon I think...
