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?

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.
