I posted the same poll on Twitter and on Mastodon. Got 50% more engagements on Mastodon, despite the fact that I have 5.4 times more followers on Twitter. Engagement per follower was therefore 8.3 times higher on Mastodon.
@tmalsburg Similar experience here. I got 60+ votes on a poll here, and 20 on Twitter. I have 1300 followers here, 3200 on Twitter. I think the algorithm here is more egalitarian, if that makes sense.
@nino@tmalsburg I don't think it's even doing much of an algorithm, since each timeline shows you everything that's eligible to be on it in chronological order. But tbh I've got wbout 50 followers both places and the difference is even starker then lol
