For members of "science twitter" who are opposed to Twitter's recently deployed content-wall - what are some alternative platforms that help academics openly share and discuss scientific research?
For those on the fence, but know more about how instances work, this resource may help you pick a relevant one. There is also this Github resource that enlists all academia-based instances.

Mastodon provides the highest (over 12%) engagement under posts
With this[1] and checking servers like journahost, that'd solve more than half your problems. You can follow hashtags, so follow like #comedy too.

Seeking new csv files to import for Mastodon
I have searched and searched for new csv files to import to follow account groups I might be interested in. I have used this list of csv files as much as I can (Academics on Mastodon: https://github.com/nathanlesage/academics-on-mastodon). It seems to me that somewhere someone else must have created available csv files for import of subgroups I might be interested in. Is there any chance anyone here will know where I might be able to find those?

How to access research resources when not attached to an institution?
Mastodon community might help. I used the list for searching related researchers or scholars on Mastodon. Some of scholars are really active but that depends. Mastodon is a more casual platform than Twitter I think. You might probably network by DM. https://github.com/nathanlesage/academics-on-mastodon

Highly successful old timers here, what advice would you give a youngster with a lack of direction?
There are a lot of scientists active on Twitter, but Mastodon may be stronger for your purposes because of so many dedicated servers/instances. Idk if there's a neuro server but here's a list of academics on Mastodon so you could look there first. I'm on med-mastodon, which could be a good starting place to make an account if you don't find a neuro server.

Server stats say www.movetodon.org reached a new record of 49k users yesterday
Not to mention large parts of academia.

So what hashtags do you follow on mastodon?
Best solution I've found so far is using Ice Cubes (iOS). It has a drop down at the top of the UI to show "Lists", "Followed Hashtags", and "Local Timelines".

Trying out mastodon (again). Questions + account & hashtag recommendations.
Certain apps will allow you to open other instances / Timelines without needing to have a separate account. I use Ice Cubes https://github.com/Dimillian/IceCubesApp but I also have a few different accounts for different servers.

First iOS native Lemmy App is now in the AppStore
Try Ice Cubes instead.
