Together with Frank Sonntag I have created a new Mastodon instance: FediScience, a friendly place where scientists can let their hair down.
There I will write about my work about the quality of climate data at a scientific level in English. https://fediscience.org/@VictorVenema
This will be/stay my private, sometimes German and local (#Bonn) account.
There is now a Mastodon instance for publishing scientists: FediScience.
Everyone is welcome from PhD student to professor, as well as researchers from outside of academia. You are welcome to stay afterwards, but it is also easy to change to another server.
There will be a lot of science talk on this server, but there is no need to only talk science

Boosts are appreciated to let others know about this new instance.
@VictorVenema What if you’re not a scientist per se (software developer) but just want to learn and read about science?
@ainent @VictorVenema You could use #RSS to follow the local instance timeline - https://docs.rsshub.app/en/social-media.html#mastodon-instance-timeline-local
@ainent In case of software "publishing" would mean accepted conference contributions. There are other instances for people interested in science: scholar.social and scicomm.xyz.
As a developer you are just the person to make it possible to follow the local time line of other instances. I guess that is the main difference between being on librem.one and FediScience.
