Welcome to c/PhD, a Lemmy community dedicated to everything related to PhDs!

As many of you here, I migrated from Reddit some time ago, and just before leaving I had discovered r/PhD. Seeing that there was no PhD-centric community on Lemmy, I decided to create it.

The general idea is to construct an open, inclusive, and supportive space, where topics related to PhD degrees, research, and academic activities can be discussed, shared, and reflected upon. Recommendations, personal experiences, as well as questions regarding pursuing a PhD are welcome, but please be sure to remain civil, adhere to the Lemm.ee server rules, and the community rules posted in the sidebar!

I encourage everyone who joins this community to:

foster an open attitude towards other users,
proactively seek to acquire and share new knowledge,
respect your own and other's work,
nurture and profess integrity in your research, and
be willing to learn from others, and to help others learn.

These are not commandments, just my personal perspective on what I would like to see this community uphold and value.

I understand that in order to get traction and jump-start a community, quality posts have to be published, and meaningful interactions have to be encouraged. Let's all work together on this, and hopefully in time we'll be able to grow this nascent community.

This is the first time I moderate any kind of community, and I will likely mess things up. Please be tolerant and patient with me and others, and let's try to build a community we can all be proud of.

Best,

u/babetoduarte

FAQs

Is c/PhD related or connected to r/PhD?
No. Other than sharing pretty much the same rules and name as /r/Phd this community is not affiliated in any way with /r/Phd.

Did the idea for c/PhD come from the r/PhD community?
No. r/PhD was the inspiration for starting this c/PhD on Lemm.ee, but this idea did not start or come from within r/PhD.

Do the mods of r/PhD know about c/PhD? Yes. I consulted with them before opening this community, asking if they would be interested in coordinating activities or participating on c/PhD. Mods replied saying they have no interest in moving or branching out to Lemmy, and encouraged us to create c/PhD.
