Personally, I would be very happy to follow an NGO account that gave me news about its activities.

@Fairphone is a kind of NGO, for example, and it posts very interesting articles about reforming supply chains.

There are lots of activists on the Fediverse, it makes sense for groups that depend on activism to have a presence on the Fediverse.

@jrss

I'm not sure, I think some apps may have that feature?

@STP_KITT

It's a matter of taste and hardware I guess.

Fortunately both options are available to everyone and it's really easy to switch back and forth 👍

@mariusor

Not as far as I know.

@STP_KITT

I guess it depends on what size display you have, but it fills the screen on my laptop?

@mariusor

On the multicolumn interface you can pin a hashtag search as an additional column, and add other hashtags to the same column if you want.

I don't think there is this option on single column yet?
