Are there any academic focused lemmy instances? I'd love a community that requires proof of a degree to join (could still allow users from other instances to comment and participate) and only has science focused communities.

I'm curious about this too. I would love to lurk in some science communities here.

I do know there's a lot of academics on Mastodon. Mastodon is way more fun than the Twitter ever was, because Mastodon let's me follow scientists and doesn't bury their posts.

Gross.

Why? What's nice about lemmy is you can have special purpose instances. It's no different than having an academic email address. You can still participate on an instance without making an account.
