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.

@mentallyalex @futurebird I've been treating boosting and following as essential to get the networks connected with all the new users. Not sure I'm right, but that is my model. But I have generated a home feed that is too much to read, so then I had to divide it into separate lists I can check in a more organized way.
