Commonshub Collections

Transparent starter collections for the open social web.

Curated collections of trusted accounts that help people find thoughtful humans, useful broadcasters, and durable public conversation across the open social web.

What these are

Mastodon collections are lightweight, shareable discovery objects. Commonshub adds the transparency layer around them: why a collection exists, how it was created, what kinds of accounts it includes, and how it will improve over time.

How to use collections

Commonshub Collections are curated discovery lists built using Mastodon's native collections feature.

Collections are designed for Mastodon and compatible fediverse apps.

If you already use Mastodon, open a collection and follow accounts directly from your own server.

If you are new to Mastodon, you may be prompted to create an account before following accounts from a collection.

How we curate

Trusted seeds

We begin with small sets of high-quality accounts relevant to a topic or community.

Graph discovery

We look for accounts repeatedly followed or surfaced by trusted people in related networks.

Activity filtering

Dormant accounts, noisy feeds, bridges, and obvious broadcast-only nodes are separated.

Human review

Collections are starting points, not automated rankings. Human judgment remains central.
