and get fuck all as any for of reaction whatsoever
I mean yeah, why would anyone see your posts. I doubt people look at the “new” live feed much on mastodon. I dont have an account, but as far as i can see there are zero sorting features like on lemmy. There is only the live feed and a couple “Explore” filters that are not configurable.
So yeah nobody will see your posts unless you already have followers… Thats just how microblogging works by default. On lemmy people will just automatically see your posts if its posted into a community with a bunch of subscribers.
PC Cases arent usually biodegradable if i recall correctly. What did you do to the poor thing?
