Academics on Mastodon
Anyone now claiming that no one uses the Fediverse, clearly has no clue as to what they are talking about.
There is a large academic presence on Mastodon alone, and Mastodon is just part of the wider Fediverse. The first list below [1] is an excellent resource, there is also Trunk, which also lists by interest / topic.

Mastodon Announcement Jan 2025
There has been a major announcement by the main developer of Mastodon. In essence, the founder, Eugen Rochko has made the decision that he should not be making all the decisions and has transferred key assets to a non-profit entity. You can read more below.
This is an excellent move, as Eugen does not want to be the next Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg.
I have put some links below so if you want to join. Don't forget you can download all your data easily and import this in to a different instance, should you decide to move elsewhere later.
