People on Mastodon...are there a lot of users who just spam stars and boosts like mad to get followers? Some posts seem to get a ton of instant, rapid interaction even though I only have 13 followers - eviltoast

      Most of my posts get zero engagement and it seems appropriate. Maybe it’s hashtags. The posts where I bitch about twitter or Reddit or google are usually the ones that get attention. I am just assuming people looking for follow backs but 🤷🏻‍♂️

      I’m trying to keep my feed manageable at this point…not looking for 1,000 mutual followers that just follow for numbers.

      • Unless you have a lot of active folks who follow you posts generally only get engagement from hashtags, groups, or local (if you’re on a server with active local watchers)
