Unfortunately, BBC doesn't seem to have world news on their own mastodon instance.

Without that, I don't think they're going to get worthwhile numbers from mastodon...

I imagine it is only a matter of time before they do have a world news account. Meanwhile, there are plenty of mirror accounts (rss posters) of their headlines on Mastodon.

And summarisers like https://mastodon.bot/@bbcnews

Why haven't they at least taken the twitter feeds and cross posted? Or spit the beeb rss feed out via mastodon?

The "experiment" seems to be little more than spinning up a server.
