Mastodon is either just really small, or people don't click on things they see here. Or what am I missing?

I published a video a couple of days ago about Code Smells - it was a lot of work and I was really pleased with it. I was delighted to get about 14 reposts or likes here on Mastondon - that's a lot for me.

However when I look at my stats in YouTube, it shows only 4 views came from Mastodon, out of a total of about 300. My similar post on LinkedIn generated about 20 views for comparison.

@emilybache: Different environment, model, and culture perhaps.

As was mentioned Masto tech seem a bit more savvy and security-minded. I’ve never seen more (different) people talk about anti-ad and anti-tracking measures than I have here…on a recurring basis.

@emilybache: As to the size observation, I think it’s more timing, lack of “algorithm,” and how users interact.

Hashtags are important here as it’s not like LinkedIn where a friend likes it and throws it in “my feed” - repeatedly, days later.

If someone always starts at the top and scrolls down, the post could get buried by time. [Because Masto is pretty big and chatty.]
