I decided that since I hadn’t found any other communities in the Lemmy community browser, I would just make one for us.

Feel free to introduce yourself!

    Thanks for setting this up! Gotta figure out the layout here but Professor Farnsworth is giving me the courage I need to succeed.

      I just got tired of searching for one and decided to pull the trigger. :)

      Anyone else want to help mod? I have no idea what I’m doing, lol.

        Neither do I, but I’m willing to dive into the deep end and try. I wasn’t really going to do any research or writing this summer… :D

        No idea what I’m doing either. Thanks for posting this site on reddit!!! Hopefully some of the conversation moves to here, as RiF was reddit to me. Thanks for making this group!

    Something like 70% of Reddit is currently dark according to the Reddark website, and I suspect that many of them will stay that way longer than 48 hours. r/Professors didn’t seem interested in supporting the effort to change u/spez’s mind, so I’m very excited to have a place here.

      Well let’s hope that we can get a sufficient part of the community here and maybe we won;t need to support u/spez anymore.

    Hey, thanks for creating this community. I’m a mathematician. Hoping this takes off enough to replace Reddit for me.

    Kept my username from reddit. I’m an R1 STEM associate prof. I’ve been previously posting any department and college dysfunction.

    I decided to keep my reddit username (for old times’ sake). For those making their way over, lemmy.ml is very busy right now; I signed up on lemmy.ca and had no trouble getting my account created. If I were smarter, I would find a way to do this from mastodon, but…

    Hi, I’ve found it a bit difficult to find certain groups and have them show up in my feed. I swear I looked a few days ago and found nothing, now today there were a few (this community and the one on kbin). I subscribed to both to see which one becomes more popular.

    I teach at a community college :). I really don’t plan to visit Reddit again!
