My field (philosophy) was one of the slowest to move from Twitter to begin with and has now basically disappeared from Mastodon altogether. I even wrote a bot (@icymi_philosophy) to facilitate discovery, but nothing helped.
I personally see Mastodon's failure to provide basic tools (like quote boosts) and discovery algorithms as the main issue, so I'm not sure what we as an academic community can do. I put some hope into the fedi-bs bridge to at least increase the #s a bit.
