Can we make this (or another post)
get +500 boosts, proofing that the argument to stay away from the #fediverse because one can here only reach out to a few is completly wrong?

Wondering how high the reach of this post is?

Well, we don't know. We don't track the users.

You only can see the boosts/fav/reply.
If that's a lot, it reached a lot.

If that made one rethink their opinion here you go:

Mastodon - Decentralized social media

@paulfree14 I had toots with >100 boosts, favs. I also discover toots from people much more often than on twitter.

I don't care about the 'reach' and raw 'numbers'. I care that on mastodon people reply, discuss and react instead of playing a game to gain views.

@mulander
well I think it depends for what reason you use something.
I could imagine a indipendent journalist making a research taking about 6 month and writing a paper about it's findings.

Reaching out to people with your findings is part of their work.

So they continue to use (beside journals, newspaper etc.) twitter, facebook and VK to do so.

For that I would say reach is important.
