   “…the case for using Twitter grows weaker. I get ten times as many replies and reposts on Mastodon, though my Mastodon follower count is a tenth the size of my (increasingly hypothetical) Twitter audience.” https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/14/freedom-of-reach/#ex @pluralistic

     @glitzersachen You may do it if not too often (some people spam in this way). If you use hashtags your posts become like timeless. People search them or even subscribe to them. So they read your post after search or when the subscription comes into their timelines. I often got feedback to very old posts.

     @ailuridae

     That is because of the chronological timeline, I guess. For everybody following more than more than 50 accounts, they cannot see everything on their timeline. So they see the last some hours, everything you posted 6 hours before is lost in the past for them.

     I hear it's not considered bad etiquette if you boost some of your own best-of toots every now and then.

     @fonecokid @franksting @pluralistic benefits of being big I suppose. Quite aside from my own non-existent reach (my own fault, since I am on here very intermittently at best), most posts on fedi in general seem to a tiny fraction of responses similar ones would have gotten on Twitter. Maybe it has plummeted that much there now, but I kinda doubt it.
