The first post I put up for Pride month had 92 likes and 62 boosts over on Mastodon, meanwhile here on the 'gram only 91 people actually saw it - despite me having 1500 followers and sharing it to Stories.

That's not a small difference, and it's not an outlier.

Over the 28 days before I scheduled this post, my Mastodon posts had 979 engagements, while on Instagram they had 153.

Not only that, I have had more enquires through Mastodon this year, than I have had through Instagram ever.

@alexisbushnell I've said it before on here, and I'll say it again: I have had way more engagement here on Mastodon than I ever did on Twitter, and I'm much happier here where I feel like plenty of people actually acknowledge me with my thoughts and ideas on the internet.
