@dangillmor I keep posting a willingness on TwiX to help people move to Mastodon (or invite them to Bluesky), and I haven’t gotten a single taker either. It’s demoralizing, honestly. People don’t seem to care about the toxic atmosphere at TwiX. Either that or they like it. Meanwhile, I can’t get ANY traction of note with my Mastodon accounts. Engagement is slow-growing at Bluesky but it dwarfs the engagement I get at Mastodon or PixelFed (very few followers and almost no replies/discussion)😞 6 comments
@Hey_Beth @dangillmor Thanks. I’ll keep trying. My discovery skills haven’t been so great on here, yet, I’ll admit.  @BrooklynBuckets @Hey_Beth @dangillmor Have you posted and pinned an Intro? That's really helpful to those of us who discover accounts like yours, we can boost your intro and hopefully a bunch of #NBA and #basketball fans show up. Also, hashtag readily. #Brooklyn #sports #WNBA #NewYorkLiberty #NYC #BrooklynNets all help! @ai6yr @Hey_Beth @dangillmor I try to hashtag in most of my posts, but I should really post intros on my accounts and include one for which teams I follow (beyond the main two the account is built around). My sports interests are pretty broad. I guess I never posted an intro beyond my bio at TwiX so I wasn’t sure what the difference between the two would be here either (other than @Hey_Beth ‘s suggestion I list the many teams I root for). Thanks everyone. @BrooklynBuckets @Hey_Beth @dangillmor For sure... and it does take some folks boosting for people to see your account, etc. (which is hard to do starting with only a few followers, of course!). That's why the hashtags are useful. Also set your account to be indexed/shown in searches (new feature in Mastodon v4.2.0). |

@BrooklynBuckets @dangillmor
Jump into conversations. That is how I just found you. I'm not a huge sports fan myself, but I boost sports so that people can find their people.
Also have a pinned post on my page with people hashtagging their favorite teams.
