Are grad students on here? Seems like it leans toward senior and mid career folks.

Q directed to grad students / postdocs who are checking this out:

What practices/behaviors would make this space useful for you?

How can senior folks best promote your work or interact w you here?

@mikelove I like this place because the tone is more relaxed and - partly because so many are still missing - the „big names“ don’t feel so far away that they would never read your reply anyway so I would probably not engage with them. What I miss here is people sharing preprints and discussing them, as I got a lot of ongoing / recent work in my birdsite feed and I feel here I would miss out on some relevant new things - but maybe that is yet to come?

@janlause yeah i've seen some folks start their threads here and somehow cross post. but still the vast majority will still do their preprint threads there. I find drafting long threads easier on Twitter TBH, plus more exposure. But maybe Mastodon can become the place for things like Reddit AMA about papers
