Does joining a small instance affect your reach?

Will less people see your posts if you self-host your own instance?

No and no.

On my small single-user instance (atomicpoet.org), I sent this post 2 hours ago. As you can see, it now has:

* 784 boosts
* 354 favorites
* Too many replies for me to count

As I've now shown, size of an instance is no obstacle to spreading your message!

If @[email protected] works so well, then why do you use mastodon.social?

@bobwyman @[email protected] Because I can. I've had this account since 2018. And I donate to mastodon.social.

@atomicpoet @bobwyman @[email protected] having multiple accounts is a feature. Some of the apps include account switching. Just depends on how you interact the best.
