@stfn @kev Me too, I started getting meaningful interactions within hours of joining Mastodon.

My blog gets 50-100 views per day and my reply inbox is always empty. Even when the occasional post hits the front page of Hacker News and floods my blog with 30K views.

@amoroso @kev I was wondering what's it like to have your blog post reach instant short time fame, and it sounds like there is no difference

@stfn @kev Here's what getting 30K views from Hacker News feels like in your inbox: crickets 😀

@amoroso i've hit the top spot of HN a few times, and every time it's crickets. Those people are invested in you as a person. or your content, so they're very unlikely to email.

I think that it's regular readers that are far more likely to make contact.

@kev @stfn Okay, but it takes quite a lot of regular readers to get at least a mail or two. A few hundred regular readers may not be enough.

@amoroso I wouldn't know, I don't track any stats. :)
