Pssst: influencers struggle with Mastodon because it's harder to influence people here. It's not because this place isn't neat.
@vkc I know somebody who doesn't put in time here because there's no algorithm 🤷♀️ Nice place to chat, maybe meet folks. Not a great place to get found and go viral.
@annika
Exactly! A great place to hang out, not so much to promote your stuff — there are those who succeed because their stuff is niche to begin with and Fedi crowd is perfect for it.
Some think that promotion is just bad, but are you a bad person if you're an independent artist and you want people to learn of your existence? I don't think so. Besides, social media with greater audience might do a better job and you at least have to maintain presence there too.
