If you're interested in particular topics, you can join Fediverse groups. They work like this:

1. Join a group by following its account
2. Posts from that group will start appearing in your timeline
2. Post to a group by mentioning it in a public post
4. Leave the group by unfollowing it

The groups work via third party services, the most popular ones at the moment are https://chirp.social and https://a.gup.pe.

Finally, I find it utterly mind-boggling that ready-made “GDPR-compliant/No EU data included” training data sets don’t seem to be a thing in Machine Learning. It’s such an obvious legal-compliance issue, with such a clear solution that it makes the entire field look _incredibly_ irresponsible.
