@PhDMarie I love how you've been here less than a day and only have one top level toot and 16 toots in general (so not massive effort your putting in or anything) and you are already up to 61 followers.I think this really shows how much easier engagement and getting followers is over here than it is on twitter.

@freemo 😂 I'll have to admit, I'm surprised myself! This has been the warmest welcome to a social media platform I have ever received. The pressure is on though... now I feel like I really have to deliver something impressive in upcoming toots so I don't disappoint all these kind followers.

@PhDMarie ::stares intently:: Impress me! Dance!We are pretty laid back here. Despite being a server for STEM we dont restrict what you can talk about. Half the time we just geek out, so you are good.But yea this is nothing new, for years now I always realized that its a lot easier to engage people here than it is on twitter, a LOT.

@freemo I do wonder how much of this is driven by tools like Debirdify though.

@LouisIngenthron There may be some tools helping it along. But even when the fediverse was much smaller I remember noticing that the number of follows here, and engagement in gneeral, was easily many orders of magnitude higher than twitter.To give you an idea I've had twitter for two times longer than I had this account. I also cross post all my posts from here to twitter so the two accounts post the exact same content. Despite this I have only 4K followers on twitter and I have almost 30K followers here. On top of that when i post on twitter I very rarely get replies compared to when I post here.

@freemo I don't like to brag, but I did take some advanced hip hop dance classes back in the day...I didn't really know what to expect with Mastodon, but less than 24 hours in, I'm definitely a fan. And, to be honest, I don't think I'll miss the sound of crickets that so often followed a Tweet.

@PhDMarie You throw up some hip hop dance movies in a video and I promise your follower count will bump :)

@freemo Oh, I totally agree that the effect you're describing exists and is quantifiable.But for folks who are currently migrating and had existing followers over there, I don't think it tells the whole story.At least half the people I follow here come from tools that let me know when others I used to follow over there have made the leap to Mastodon.

@LouisIngenthron You could be right... I really dont even know how popular those tools are.

@freemo I think they're pretty popular among the migrating herd.Most of the "welcome to Mastodon, here's how things work here" posts mention them.

@LouisIngenthron Well the nice thing is they arent just reporting a lot of new followers but they are actually reporting engagement now. Which means those same followers over on twitter were blinded by the algorithm and dont have that issue here. I will take that as a win.

@freemo I'm seriously considering it. We have a great urgent care facility just down the street in case things go awry...

@freemo Agreed. In Twitter, the only real discussions happened in the replies to blue check posts.That is very much not the case here.

@freemo I'm embarrassed to admit that I had not! And now my life may very well be complete. Those were indeed "not your average points".

@freemo @PhDMarie I have seen it before and thought I had managed to scrub away the feeling of cringe. Thanks. :blobawkward:
