Here you don't need to attract a lot of followers, it's enough to make good content and people will notice you.
It's not like on X where you need a lot of them.
I'm here for 2 years now, and I don't have more than 1000 followers (I think), but they are good and I'm having fun with them. Anyway don't watch the number of followers you have, because if you move to another app it will show something else π. This was never fixed by the devs because nobody cares about it.
You need to follow people, like, boost, and of course zap β‘- this is the main difference from other social media, see if you like the content they share, than you stay with them if not just unfollow simple as that.
It will take some time until you will find your people to like and stay with them.
You need patience. π
