We use the hashtags and plus LREC+year. The hash tag had some activity for us and the LREC main conference that we are a satellite event of.

(less than I expected TBH, but that's probably because a lot of the chatter happened on Slack)

Well, not sure about Mastodon specifically, but @jcls has an account here and the hashtags and have been used quite a bit.

Background: CCLS is the Conference on Computational Literary Studies organized annually by @jcls which, you may have guessed it, is the Journal of Computational Literary Studies.

The hashtag was , although I don't know how much traction it got anywhere.

Most online interaction was done on Slack workspace spun up for the conference.

Last year, our hashtag was and there has been some activity (not a lot yet).

We also note that some people who were active went to different platforms, like LinkedIn
