@toplesstopics For me it’s the other way around: I get way more active conversations here than I ever did on Twitter (which admittedly I wasn’t very good at).
I’m pretty liberal in following people, balanced by liberally unfollowing those that annoy me.
As for Pixelfed: I’ve been active on my smallish instance for two days. Today’s top post currently 77 likes and 25 boosts, which seems like a lot even by the standards of my far more established Mastodon account.
