Finding Mastodon accounts with Wikidata (a few SPARQL queries)
There are multiple initiatives to support the migration from Twitter to Mastodon (see also this blog post ). But Wikidata should not be forgotten here which has been tracking Mastodon accounts of things in their database:
So, here are some Wikidata SPARQL queries to see the uptake:
- Universities with Mastodon
- All Mastodon accounts in Wikidata (or subset with also a Twitter account)
- Nobel Prize winners with Mastodon
- Academic journals with Mastodon
- People with Mastodon that published in a PLOS journal (you can pick another publisher)
- Find your co-authors with your ORCID (just replace my ORCID with yours)
If you find yourself missing, back in April I tweeted (sorry) how you can find yourself and others in Wikidata and how to add your or their Mastodon account.
