Hashtags are the algorithm in Mastodon. Find which relevant hashtags are most active and use them in your posts.
Probably signing up with Bluesky, even if slightly off-topic. The lack of algorithms means the only way to swim up is to post everyday at prime time in the hope to catch some exposure. Because quality posts with high interactions with likes will not bubble up from the crowd.
I am good on American commercial services. I am not joining Bluesky.
Unfortunately I think only mbin has integration with mastadon and last I knew the user feeds were separate from the main feed so sorta outasight outamind. Granted though I thought mastodon was the largest fediverse thing. Anyway this is why im not active with any mastodon myself but I hope it becomes more integrated.
I’m sorry, I don’t really have an answer. I did just follow you on mastodon and I’ll try to boost you from time to time. If people don’t search for tags then word of mouth is the best way to get visibility.
Thanks!
No worries, I honestly like the forum format more.
I am just curious if I am missing something. Mastodon has x20 MAU of Lemmy, yet I get much more engagement/sub growth on Lemmy. The niche nature of the topic should have a comparable impact on both platforms, there is nothing about Lemmy that would boost popularity of tycoon gaming discussions relative to baseline.
Could the fact that I am using a smaller Mastodon instance have an impact?
I think the instance size definitely makes a difference. I expect users on smaller instances need to work harder to get visibility on larger instances.
idk but i shared your profile with my friend!
Thanks!
