Trying to find out how many people see a post without hashtags. Thank you!
@meganmariehart
I see your post, Megan. -
Maybe I'm very strange but my metric for a post "doing well" is replies not likes or boosts.
A good post spawns a million threads and subthreads.
However, I'm on social media to ... socialize (crazy right?)
People who view social media as a publicity tool don't reply to posts, they don't even read their own replies. It's like they aren't even here.
Sad that on places like X/twitter replies were seen as a negative: a sign that people were angry at you. Dysfunctional.
As someone with a large
following, do you have any recommendations for dealing with notifications?I've heard several times that creators that seem to be pretty good have trouble dealing with all the replies on Mastodon, specifically.

(I favourited and boosted this, but given the content of the post, I feel like that could be interpreted as a passive-aggressive attack. It isn't meant to be, I have nothing of value to add to this, but I completely agree with the sentiment expressed.)

Also, probably very few people will find this interesting, but the latest campaign in not another D&D podcast lampoons this kind of social media influencer with a Social Media Warlock (derives her power from her social media following.)

@futurebird @meganmariehart 100%, getting many likes is in some sense satisfying, but one engaged reply is gratifying.
@sarble +1
i have 14 followers on masto and have had more engaging interactions here than ten years of instagram could give me
(not counting insta dms since those are almost xclusively ppl i know irl) -
@meganmariehart Are you aware of https://stootistics.web.app/ ?
@sonjaschuh01 Thank you so much! I’ll give this to someone who’s good with math and computers. I have a hunch it could be really helpful. (I’m terrible at math. Did you know dancers are better at math than musicians? I heard them count to eight!)

@mdione My idea was to test the potential reach of a post without hashtags, basically just for the sake of discussion. After all, it's not just about finding an existing audience, but also about building one. (There are some bots that post trending tags, I figure it should be possbile to tweak one of them to show hashtags used in connection to a specific topic?)
Thank you!@meganmariehart dont boosts also go against the 'i want to test the default reach of posts?'
boosting a post means it will show up in someones timeline, where it wouldnt have shown up in if not boosted

@Irisfreundin Thank you, this might be helpful in addition. By the way, I got this message when I tried to view your initially hidden post: “Notifications from this account have been filtered because the account or its server has been limited by a moderator.” I thought you might want to know.

I feel like I get more meaningful interaction (and perhaps even ticket sales!) from a Mastodon post about an upcoming show than from posts on other social media platforms. But a “feeling” dosen’t help when trying to convince people to join. Or to get active. My current theater @staatstheaterdarmstadt is on here since 2022 – zero posts! I would like them to get active or even set up their own instance. I think every theater should have its own instance! It can’t be more work than FB and IG.
5/7@meganmariehart when you say "theater", I think "backstage" and 'images", and then maybe pixelfed instance in the end, not mastodon?
-
@meganmariehart Why do you use THE IMPERATIVE FORM IN UPPERCASE when you post something?
Do you know the word "please"?
Do you have to SHOUT orders to strangers when you conduct an experiment?
@nakedhombre I read that post as a satire of social media "broadcasters". You will see if you read the thread.

@meganmariehart seeing is overrated, how many people can feel a post without #
