There is no engagement engine whose approval I need to seek here. That's wonderful, and gosh, unconsciously optimizing my actions for profile health and post engagement is... tough. I've internalized so much from the Twitter/Meta style model.

It's nice to just, well, be.

@mike don't forget to put hashtags in the posts so others can find them when searching for certain topics!
@StroomAfwaarts What hashtags would you have added to this post?

@mike nothing in particular to this post. It was a general advice! ☺️

Like if you post a whole story about awesome flowers in your yard with beautiful pictures, more people will see it when you hashtag it "flowers", "garden", or, popular here: "florespondence"

@StroomAfwaarts Thank you for the advice. :)

@mike looks like you already knew that though ☺️

So, to new people who didn't read the manual yet: hashtags! 😁

all of you: welcome! πŸŽ‰
