there are instances related to visualization, HCI & digital humanities on the #fediverse, but what about folks into #Urbanism #UrbanDesign #Cycling #WalkableCities #UrbanPlanning #UrbanFutures you ask?

you can also start with the 2nd step to find the instance where most of your peeps are. but the choice of instance is not that big of a choice as it might sound. the #fediverse is all about connecting across instances. and if you want to move: account portability is built-in

what should the role of universities be on the #fediverse? wondering if hosting instances would be feasible and desirable. does anybody know of any unis already active over here? #followerPower
