Well, not sure about Mastodon specifically, but @jcls has an account here and the hashtags #CCLS2025 and #CCLS2026 have been used quite a bit.
Background: CCLS is the Conference on Computational Literary Studies organized annually by @jcls which, you may have guessed it, is the Journal of Computational Literary Studies.
