We’ve just published an update about this Mastodon trial which has been running for the last 6 months – you can read it here: bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2024-02-exte

We are going to continue our trial here for at least another six months while we share our findings internally and seek more engagement from other BBC teams. We are also planning to start researching ways to publish more BBC content using ActivityPub.

DonMt think so, checked with the instance operator. He couldn’t help.

@guardeddon Sorry to hear that. All that I can offer is "worksforme" :)
I doubt BBC sees anything to approve either.
