Nice, glad you're sticking around and finding it encouraging.

"...most of the comments and feedback have been positive, welcoming both our interest and the way we have set things up. We’ve had really encouraging levels of engagement(i.e. replies, re-posts and likes) on Mastodon. For some equivalent posts we’ve seen significantly larger engagement numbers for Mastodon compared to X/Twitter, particularly given the relative sizes of different platforms. We think this is partly due to the culture of Mastodon, and partly because of some of the topics we’ve posted about."
