mastodon please let me see the likes and number of comments a post has at a glance. i feel like i am shouting in an empty hallway. i feel very alone all the time

@biggestjoel It’s great to see you! Your Little Joe videos have genuinely helped me feel less lost and alone during the twitter Situation.

It’s not all roses here, and some of the small tips for newbies in particular made me want to rip my skull from my spine as a preemptive measure. That said, I pretty quickly found I was having a lot of fun here. I feel so much less stressed than I have on social media since before algorithms. I do hope that maybe you’ll be able to enjoy those things as well.

I would like to point out that feeling like you’re shouting in an empty hallway 2-3 days after creating an account on a new social media platform is normal. If it never gets much better or this just isn’t the place for you, that sucks, but it happens, and I’ll see you in your videos. But I do selfishly hope you’ll give it a bit more time, because I think it would be cool to read your posts here.
