This repository contains a collection of various lists of academics on Mastodon. These lists are curated by many awesome folks across various disciplines, so make sure to give them kudos as well!
The following are curated lists of academic accounts on Mastodon by discipline. If you would like to start your own group, head over to the original repository, fork it, adapt it, and publish it. Then, make sure to add your list here by proposing a pull request!
These lists are opt-in only, so if you would like to appear on one or more of these lists, click their link. The lists provide instructions. Many lists even provide a form which you can fill in yourself. If you notice that a list violates the opt-in principle, please notify us so that we can take action.

If you are in academia and do not know where to register your account in the fediverse, you may find some space on one of the following instances:
- Archaeo.Social (Anthropologists/Archaeologists/Historians)
- Fediscience
- Human Computer Interaction
- glammr.us (galleries, libraries, archives, museums, and special collections, records, memory work)
- digipres (digital galleries, libraries, archives, museums, and special collections, digitital preservation)
- Mathstodon
- Med-Mastodon
- Open Educational Resources
- Scholar.social (invite only)
- Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)
- Social Sciences
- Visualisation (SciArt, SciComm, data visualization, creative coding)
You can find a comprehensive list of these and many more academic Mastodon servers on fediscience.org. If you are new to Mastodon, hcommons.org has created a quick start guide for academics on Mastodon that also includes a short list of instances that are tailored to humanities specifically.
Contributions welcome! Feel free to add academic lists or new groups and submit a PR! Just make sure your additions are on topic. Feel free to reach out to us: @[email protected] and @[email protected]
This list is primarily maintained by Hendrik Erz (Linköpings Universitet). Below you can find ways to contact me in case you have individual questions regarding this collection of lists, or if you would report a potential opt-in violation (or similar issues).
PLEASE NOTE: This contact info is not meant to send me links to new lists. If you would like to add a list, please open a PR instead! In case that this somehow doesn't work for you, you can also open an issue, state why the PR didn't work, and provide the link to the list (and optionally the form). I receive dozens of work-related emails via the address below, so by keeping everything list-related here on GitHub I can keep that separated. Thank you very much for your understanding.
