Canada

A while ago I was browsing my feed on Sharkey and saw someone from a Mastodon instance ask if it was just him, or if there appeared to be a lot more people using the #yeg tag (for Edmonton) than the #yyc tag (for Calgary).

It's had me thinking since then that perhaps having a resource thread in these communities listing accounts such as politicians, local organisations, even local specialty accounts would be helpful to onboard people to Mastodon and retain people's involvement and interest in the Fediverse.

Having lists like this would also likely help onboard people as there would be a resource available to help showcase to those sceptical of joining that there are people in their own community that have an interest in the Fediverse, and post content that's relevant to them.

Would this be a worthwhile idea, or perhaps a bit too far out of scope?
