@rolle Just saw people coming to Mastodon with thousands of followers from other social platforms. They sign up, make a couple of posts like 'Hey, I'm here now!' and hours later, they're surprised they don't instantly have thousands of followers again. Then they say 'no, it doesn't work' and go back to their old social media. Engagement doesn't happen overnight, especially when there are no algorithms guiding others' choices.

Just been my photography account's and accounts noting the majority of people have dropped off from posting on . This is really sad as it had the makings of a viable, and indeed vibrant, in the wake of blowing up.

There is a fundamental flaw with using the metrics of engagement when someone is looking for information, asking questions.

If I ask a question that the first hundred (made up number) users on Reddit don't or can't answer, the post is regarded as uninteresting and essentially hidden from people who only look at the top posts.
