Hey people who joined the Fediverse less than a year ago, how has your experience been in trying to get followers and find people to engage with your posts?

I made this account back in the Great Twitter Migration, and post a lot and somehow got a lot of awesome followers. But I'll see new accounts with zero or only a few followers follow me, and I was just thinking - how would a person like that ever even get their stuff in front of people who want to follow even more people?

My feed is already too busy. I don't have the spoons to follow more people. But how would someone new manage to find people who still want to spend their feed on them?

@JessTheUnstill don't try to contribute content.

It's hard... but being active in the live feed is how I go about it. Say important things, contribute to conversations, mastodon is less about the audience for me and more about finding likeminded individuals.

Eventually, they'll pile up.

@JessTheUnstill I guess we'll see how it goes!
