About LoosePlume

Discover the conversations worth exploring.

Interesting conversations are scattered across Mastodon and the wider Fediverse—a network of connected social communities. LoosePlume brings related public posts together into readable reports, helping you discover ideas, explore different perspectives and find the original conversations without piecing together dozens of feeds yourself.

Find your way in

• Read reports. Get the gist of a discussion, then follow the source posts to explore it in more depth.
• Browse topics. Find conversations about the subjects you care about, from science and technology to public affairs.
• Explore sentiment. See positive, negative and neutral perspectives around a subject, and how they vary over time.

Go beyond the summary

Reports bring together the main ideas from a conversation and link to the posts behind them. Use those links to read the original wording, see the surrounding discussion and form your own view. LoosePlume is a starting point for exploration, not a substitute for the people taking part.

Summaries and sentiment views are generated with AI and can miss context or make mistakes. They reflect the conversations we cover—not a representative poll of public opinion or independent confirmation that a claim is true.

Source coverage

We draw on publicly available posts from Mastodon and related communities, including science, technology, journalism, law and regional groups. Private and login-only conversations are not included, and LoosePlume does not post or interact with accounts on your behalf.

The list below shows the communities reviewed for coverage and the types of posts we include. Public feeds offer a broader view of conversations; trending feeds highlight posts attracting attention. Posts can appear in more than one community, and our coverage is only a slice of the wider conversation.

The official Mastodon directory helps us discover communities. Sources that are not included remain listed for transparency. Inclusion does not imply affiliation or endorsement.
