Disclaimer: I find it a little tacky to talk about metrics on the Fediverse. That is NOT why I am here.
BUT! It's worth saying out loud that I found a real community here that I am immensely grateful for.
The lack of algorithms - a mysterious black box determining which posts get seen - is a big bonus to me...
I spend hours writing articles... that people now REALLY read (unlike on Big Tech platforms, where my blog posts would be seen by 3-4 people because... god forbid you include a link to an external site. And that includes Bluesky, too).
Thank you for making me feel seen and heard and valued here â¤ď¸â
Ghost v.6 has new metrics built in... I was shocked to see the number of visitors to my first post about YunoHost: 955!
So even if I find it tacky to discuss numbers, this is not to brag. My main intention is to dispel any myths about Big Tech platforms... writers and creatives often say that they HAVE to be on X or Instagram or TikTok because that's where their audience is. Well, all Big Tech platforms have finicky, mysterious algorithms. I was on Twitter for 14+ years and none of my links ever got 955 visitors in 12 hours. So I wanted to put this out here to say:
ANOTHER WAY IS POSSIBLE.
And it's even better than the old way.
Real community. Real engagement. Without surveillance capitalism.
What's not to love about this?

@elena my guess would be that the very fact people are on Mastodon, probably means they are generally more inquisitive and interested in all sorts of topics, open minded, and willing to read and learn. You'd get similar results from trying to sell a book at a book festival and trying to sell that same book at a sports event. Unless the book is about that sport. đ¤đ

@nohaironheed yup... but I also think it's because the Fediverse does not penalize posts with external links... unlike other platforms that want to keep users locked inside their feeds. I posted the same thing a few weeks ago... on the Fediverse (high engagement) and on Bluesky (where I have 1.1k followers). TOTAL CRICKETS on Bluesky, like 0 likes and 0 comments... despite the 1100+ followers. I think they subtly hide posts with links...

@elena I also like the discussion that follows interesting posts, across the range đ The Fediverse attracts educated people đ

@quinta la situazione cambia se si guarda lâaffidabilitĂ prevista per le auto nuove. Purtroppo Jeep rimane in fondo anche in quel caso, tesla e Subaru risalgono la classifica.
