ResPublicae.eu has launched! We want to make it easier to join the #EU policy discourse on the #fediverse.
For now we just mirror on #Mastodon about 1500 #Twitter accounts of EU officials and MEPs as listed by Wikidata and https://european-union.europa.eu/contact-eu/social-media-channels_en.
Example topics:
https://respublicae.eu/tags/IPCC
https://respublicae.eu/tags/EPlenary
Special thanks to @mastohost for the excellent service and @robertoszek for being so helpful with #Stork / #pleromabot.

@praetor @mastohost @robertoszek Only 2 weeks later and your instance is flooding the fediverse with rather, let's say, questionable content. Is there a significant portion of active accounts coming from conservative parties?
@lumiukko Not sure what you mean by "questionable".
We've included all elected members of the European Parliament found on Wikidata (past or current), so it's quite a wide spectrum. Due to the size of #EP constituencies, in the various countries the threshold for a party to be included may be anywhere between 1 % and 5 % of the ballot for a majority of the seats.

Tweeting patterns may differ though. Do you have any specific example in mind?
@lumiukko I see that you probably mean certain French-language accounts. They are overactive this week for obvious reasons. #presidentielles

That is very interesting. The first page you linked doesn't include fediverse channels unfortunately, but there are interesting institutions and politicians active directly on fedi already. I started listing them in this wiki post that anyone can edit and update: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/list-of-eu-based-governmental-institutions-on-the-fediverse-wiki/2279
