I've been creeping around looking at a lot of people's accounts (I'm doing a survey) Noticed that people with very few followers have one thing in common: they have not boosted the posts of other people often if at all.

(When I see posts like this encouraging boosting I always think "well that person just wants boosts, whatever") That's not it. On twitter it was important to only boost exceptional content -- boost here to invite more people to join in talking about something. #mastodonhowto

@futurebird I've seen few people really concerned with their boosts.

Personally, I wish my exposure was better... but I've just been talking and trying to find my people. If it happens, awesome. If not... c'est la vie.

I'm curious if you've seen a lot of the same people boosting each other over and over. Something I have noticed.

I just worry about users feeling isolated. I like that the numbers are less in your face here. But it's nice to get a response when you write something, --and if someone isn't networked in enough they will say stuff and no one will respond. That's no fun.

@futurebird @mentallyalex that’s mostly my experience yes, but then again that was my experience on Twitter to so I guess I’m just not interesting 🤷🏼‍♀️
