Through the #Wikidata query for nonprofit organizations with Mastodon accounts (https://w.wiki/69Sr) I learned that #OpenAccess nonprofit @scipost has a carefully set up dedicated presence here, with multiple handles for posting open-access #science papers in those fields. Neat, hope it picks up steam!

- Physics: @physics

- Astronomy: @astro

- Biology: @biology

- Chemistry: @chemistry

- Computer Science: @compsci

- Mathematics: @math

- Political Science: @polsci

Also looks like someone at the UK's Royal Astronomical Society set up a Mastodon account and is crafting custom posts for it, but it only has ~300 followers compared with their >50K on Twitter:

I see this all too often -- major public/nonprofit organizations set up shop here, but don't know how to best cross-link/promote it, so the accounts get kind of lost. If you care about #astronomy & like their work, give them a boost or follow :)

@eloquence @royalastrosoc I really wish accounts would do the URL verification dance so we can see if they are actually owned and operated by the site/group they claim to represent.

@gpshead @royalastrosoc

Yes, definitely! Fortunately they tweeted it out, but for long term verifiability link verification would be terrific: https://twitter.com/RoyalAstroSoc/status/1593635996058411009
