People who claim there is no engagement on Mastodon have never posted a photo of a really cute cat and it shows.

@lemay ..hello, is this thing on?

[mshearthwitch@wandering.shop]

@lemay In my experience ppl who get "no engagement" on Mastodon are here looking for an audience not community.

@lemay Birds and dogs work, too. #DogsOfMastodon #birds

@lemay I love all pics…cats, dogs, birds, beautiful paintings, and mosaic. It’s all fun.

[wallacewords@mastodon.sdf.org]

@lemay Yes! Or dogs! The animal community in this place is beautiful.

@lemay
Have you met Pumpkin? He found his way to our house (and hearts) in 2011... skinny & bedraggled. He hated the house and never wanted to stay indoors, so we built him a cat sanctuary in the woodshed complete with warming pad. When I took him to the vet's to have him checked out & neutered... seems he had already been uh, 'attended to'. Pumpkin hasn't been around for about 3 years now ... loved that cat.

@lemay the cat I posted last week wasn't cute?

(Well, my most popular post here is somewhat furry related, so it makes sense)

[kierkegaanks@beige.party]

@lemay slop cats incoming!

[mycotropic@beige.party]

@Beachbum @lemay

cricket appreciates you.

[raven_de_lioncourt@mastodon.social]

@lemay xD I am brand new to the app, but I think the cat thinks is so true anywhere

@lemay wait we're still hearing this "no engagement" baloney?

I was on Twitter for 14 years, and I've been on Mastodon since 2017, and my own experience is completely different. I got mostly no engagement on Twitter, but I've gotten more genuine interaction on Mastodon in 9 years than I ever got in 14 on Twitter. You just need to not be a garbage person (foreign concept to some, I know...)

[ryan@m29.us]

@lemay This is just a ploy to get people to send you cute cat pics, isn’t it

[danish_akhtar7@mastodon.social]

@lemay

I post the same content on Threads, Bluesky, and #Mastodon, but I get more engagement on Mastodon.

I had great conversations here. The quality of posts and the right hashtags are also important.

[greenpepper22@mastodon.social]

@lemay this really seems like a thinly veiled way to get sent lots of cute cats pictures

[octaviaconamore@cutie.city]

@MsHearthWitch @lemay bingo, they want to post *at* people (whereas the correct way is to *meow* at people )

[octaviaconamore@cutie.city]

@lemay @alex barring that, just meow at fedi

[introvertcatto@lgbtqia.space]

@lemay true

@lemay

This!

Or a garden of flowers. Or a bunch of moss. Or a whole load of lichen on a rock.
