GeNeMe has stood for "Communities in New Media" for more than 20 years and deals with online communities at the interface between or from the perspective of several disciplines such as computer science, media technology, economics, education and information science as well as social and communication science. 2020, the authors, in their capacity as conference organisers, deliberately chose to focus on the transfer or interplay of hybrid realities to hybrid communities. Surprisingly, this led to a jump in paper submissions of about 80%.
The paper describes the experience the authors have gained with the transformation of the conference series on online network research, hosted by several universities at the (virtual-hybrid) location of Dresden, and makes suggestions on how this can be generalised for academic teaching.
