@danielholt that does happen sometimes, yeah...I'd even say like 30-40% of my follow relationships aren't here anymore.
At this point, I feel like I can tell who's gonna stick around after a few weeks of seeing their posts.
It sucks. I'm pretty stubborn about not giving up though. There's not much on other platforms that Fediverse doesn't have. A few mainstream accounts, but that's about it.
I still continue to get more engagement here than I've ever dreamed of with other platforms.
