(Serious) networking with other academics appears difficult
-
The academic meme community here is absolutely ace! But what I would also like is to communicate with other academics in my field and share the latest publication and talk about it a bit if possible with peers.
I used to use Twitter (back when it was called Twitter) to post about my new publications. Now I use Mastodon.
Say what you wish about the negative aspect of algorithm based feeds, I am currently finding it hard to connect with other academics whose profiles may be dispersed in the wide fediverse.Long story short: How do I disseminate my work and connect with other academic peers in my field on the fediverse?
I'm study biosystems and circular economy.

Create/join communities in your field, on Mastodon follow the hashtags and most importantly feed them with posts even if no one answers or interacts, someday you’ll reach the audience you’re looking for

I think a lot of them moved to bluesky.
Here, I would just hang out in the science communities and other relevant ones, post relevant things and follow people you're interested in.

you may also find a slack channel dedicated to your field.

I think there's definitely an underserved space for academics on the fediverse.
Feed-based mechanics are not good for archival or slower (read: not always online) readers, so NodeBB actually works really well to collect that stuff and present it in less of a firehose-y format.
For example, here's a NodeBB forum that follows the #medicine tag: https://postcall.pub
Here on ActivityPub.Space the discussion is all ActivityPub focused and it is really really good at keeping up to date with the latest topics.
I'd be happy to work with you to start a general science (or more topic-focused) board if you're interested...
