Discover fediverse accounts using Wikidata.

How it works

The tool uses the Wikidata query service at https://query.wikidata.org/ to look up accounts with the "Mastodon address" property that inclusively match an occupation. It then renders the results in a table and lets you download them as a Mastodon-compatible CSV file.

Limitations

  • Wikidata information is sometimes outdated
  • Taxonomy can be surprising (e.g., anyone who's written an op-ed is an opinion journalist, and therefore also a journalist)
  • Notability criteria for inclusion in Wikidata can seem arbitrary
  • Not mobile-friendly

Improvements welcome

  • Any and all issue reports and PRs are appreciated
  • Would be great to expand the tool with other capabilities, e.g., searching organization types.
