      Given the demographics I’d be really surprised if we didn’t.

  If you want to get used to the empty void of space, you could always just use friendica.

  • dil@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    You can sub to every lemmy community you do here and make it lively af, friendicas only dead if you dont setitup in any way

    • BenderRodriguez@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      So friendica is only lively if it’s Lemmy?

      Ans you get to see who disliked your comments, I never thought that should be anonymous on any site

  This might be more achievable than it sounds: there is quite a bit of space content on Mastodon already. Seti have an official account along with several astronomers, observatories and astrophysicists. Nasa possibly used to have an official account that has gone inactive. I can’t see any astronauts there at the moment but that could easily change

    Perhaps its a lot to ask, but could you share some of the people profiles?

    source

    • ns1@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Sure. The SETI account is mastodon.social/@setiinstitute

      This looks like it might have been the NASA account, but I can’t verify whether it was official: mstdn.social/@NASA (The unofficial one that is active and more popular is social.beachcom.org/@nasa)

      Some people working in space, e.g. astronomers and astrophysicists. There are many more, these are just some examples

      • scicomm.xyz/@KellyLepo
      • mastodon.social/@sundogplanets
      • mastodon.social/@markmccaughrean
      • mastodon.social/@AstroHyde
      • mastodon.online/@elizabethtasker
      • mastodon.social/@mcnees
      • mastodon.social/@badastro
      • mastodon.online/@michael_w_busch
      • mastodon.online/@astro_jcm
      • mastodon.social/@pomarede
      • tech.lgbt/@planetarypan
      • scicomm.xyz/@JohnBarentine
      • scicomm.xyz/@drcaro
      • mastodon.social/@planet4589

      These people appear to be current or former nasa employees:

      • masto.ai/@astroptere
      • xoxo.zone/@arielwaldman
      • mastodon.online/@Physicsj
      • deepspace.social/@kevinmgill
      • mastodon.online/@astrobiolena
      • mapstodon.space/@mapperwocky

      And here are some other space-related organisations:

      • scicomm.xyz/@sjastronomy
      • social.numerique.gouv.fr/@irap
      • fediscience.org/@OJ_Astro
      • mastodon.social/@ec_euclid
      • mastodon.social/@esoastronomy
      • vmst.io/@WestportObservatory
      • mastodon.online/@StellaLunaObs
      • observatory.social/@BGO

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

  Meshtastic on the ISS wen???

• piranhaconda@mander.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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