There's that one astronaut that posts awesome pics from ISS on reddit, Don Pettit or u/astro_pettit. Might be the best shot.

Sure. The SETI account is https://mastodon.social/@setiinstitute
This looks like it might have been the NASA account, but I can't verify whether it was official: https://mstdn.social/@NASA
(The unofficial one that is active and more popular is https://social.beachcom.org/@nasa)Some people working in space, e.g. astronomers and astrophysicists. There are many more, these are just some examples

This is just what I found looking around, I think it shows there's a strong space community on the fediverse.

Do we have amateur radio guys on the fediverse?
I was thinking guys into Meshtastic or something

I dont want to be attacked, im afraid of @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world

Community driven decentralized radio frequency communications network. Some state populations have started using it in-large for emergency comms in case of severe weather knocking out power. Some people just use it because it’s like $50 to build a node yourself and get into the cool hobby.

That sounds really cool actually. Does it require special licensing like ham radio does?

So friendica is only lively if it's Lemmy?
Its an aggregator in my eyes

we're dead instance brothers

PS that whole deal fucking sucked. I cant remember his name, but the guy who ran it seemed like a solid dude. eastern european of some ilk. I donated a few times through ko-fi. I didnt hear any stirrings of the bullshit he supposedly had to wind up dealing with. I cant fathom why someone would take time to fuck up something like a lemmy instance that someone was doing at a loss essentially

I think real life and the earlier days of lemmy moderation burned them out! It's not easy running one of these things and a dude with good intentions may have underestimated the load.

sure, but based on the announcement rationale for the closure it sounded like just one or two people made it not worth it
