@hayesstw Yeah! Part of the whole "no algorithm" vibe here means that things can be very very slow. For some people that's a feature. For others it's a flaw.
I like attention and communication, but getting 10 interactions (likes + reposts + comments) here is very rare.
So i comment a lot, post a lot, retweet a lot, use hella hashtags, and follow a lot of people even if I'm only tangentially interested in their content. It's not perfect by any means
