For the first time (that I noticed) on the channel, #Mastodon brought a video more views than Twitter. And no, it wasn’t the video about the fediverse, it was the latest #Linux news video.

Both are really small compared to what Google search brings, but still, it’s kinda cool. And my Twitter following is way bigger, so it’s doubly cool.

@thelinuxEXP Engagement is oddly high here, I find.

I also notice this with the occasional drawing I share here. For whatever reason, even though my followers are mostly other programmer, these posts get much more interactions than on dedicated picture-sharing sites.

I'm a bit afraid this is because the network here is still small, and that with increasing size, the interactions will reduce again: timeline flooded, better quality pics by real artists, etc.

@ctietze Yeah, it’s probably a byproduct of the small size: the people who follow you here are really interested. As the platform grows, it will probably be diluted as well, but for now, it’s really cool!
