Some of us in the Microbial genomics community have setup our own instance at https://mstdn.science/. You are welcome to join. It is a place for people our field, scientists in general, and science enthusiasts to discuss research and topics surrounding our work. It is hosted on a small Digitalocean server, and I am still tweaking certain parts of it. The whole thing is in its infancy, and might just crash and burn.

If you want to chip in for running costs, you can donate via Liberapay. All moderation in a mastodon instance is community driven. So as the community grows, we may need help with moderating content.
