I’ve been giving Mastodon a fair share over the past few months, but even though the user base is significantly larger on that platform than Lemmy, I find the actual user ENGAGEMENT significantly worse. I’ll be posting random super interesting shit (according to me at least) and get fuck all as any for of reaction whatsoever, whereas Lemmy and its users actually engage in dope content. Therefore I’ve come to the clear scientific and educated decision that Lemmy is simply superior. Since it’s “AskLemmy” - thoughts?
I mean yeah, why would anyone see your posts. I doubt people look at the “new” live feed much on mastodon. I dont have an account, but as far as i can see there are zero sorting features like on lemmy. There is only the live feed and a couple “Explore” filters that are not configurable.
So yeah nobody will see your posts unless you already have followers… Thats just how microblogging works by default. On lemmy people will just automatically see your posts if its posted into a community with a bunch of subscribers.
