This repository provides a most simple webapp that helps to bulk follow Science and Technology Studies (STS) researchers on the FOSS microbloging service Mastodon. In it you can create a csv-file that can be uploaded in your mastodon settings, in order to follow every account from the list.
The repository is forked from a list of sociologists (https://www.perspektivbrocken.org/en/2022/10/28/sociologists-on-mastodon-a-list/).
Yes, basically you just have to fork the repo. There are two files that you will need to change. The Text in index.html and the accounts that are stored in resources/sociologists.csv. Please keep the name of this file (or change it in assets/js/createcsv.js, too).
You can publish your web app directly from the repository. For this, go to “Settings” and then choose “pages” in the left menu.
the csv file is stored in /resources/.
Any file with the columns: account,name,url will do.
The page tootformat.html renders all accounts from the csv as ”account (name)”. This offers you a more readable format which you can copy to your posts in Mastodon.
