I haven't posted much on Mastodon yet, but I've noticed my posts here have gotten as much engagement as they would have on Twitter, despite the fact that I have 1/100th of the followers here. Wondering what to credit that to: Non-algorithmic timeline, less people to follow and therefore more attention paid to each post, and a friendlier atmosphere. Most likely, all three!
@adamconover Same for me. 1/20th the followers here but far more engagement. I've been half convinced for a while that Twitter has been penalising me for regularly including links to websites as they want to keep people on Twitter.
