From my experience on Mastodon, it is almost impossible to be found.

Some of my toots feel like shouting into a void.

Is there anyway around this?

This is twitter advice, but I assume it works.

I had about 10k followers and about 100 likes per tweet in my heyday - but had pretty much left about a year before elon took over, and fully left when he did.

It was a lot of work with little reward, but it was fun.

  • Post actually engaging content for your niche on a regular schedule, preferably more often than twice a day
  • you can maybe stretch to two niches on an account but likely you just want one
  • engage primarily with people in that niche
  • get to know them, build an online friendship
  • get into group dms or chats with multiple people in the same niche
  • nepotistically retweet each others stuff, publically respond favorably to it
  • unless you have a really interesting life, keep your real life out of it and focus on your niche
  • expect this process to be a committed 12 month process - so that's at least 1000 posts, all should be high quality enough to warrant engagement.
