I got myself an profile at calckey.world where I post screenshots of a chat of a game. But I am not getting much visibility.

Is there any better instance I’m supposed to go to?

    About subscribing to communities on Mastodon and the sort, I’d advise against that.

    Mastodon’s main solution to communities since they don’t have a native community feature are bots that boost anything posted to their respective communities, including any comments, making your feed a spam hell if you follow the community bot.

    Their other solution, and what I’d suggest instead, is to follow the hashtags equivalent to that community, usually what comes before the domain in the handle, e.g. #fediverse for fediverse@lemmy.world. When a post comes from a community, Mastodon adds a hashtag to it with that logic, and thankfully it doesn’t for any subsequent comments to the given post.

      I use it for small communities and it’s fine, I don’t mind seeing a few comments. Also that might just be Mastodon, what about the other microblogging platforms?

      Following the hashtag is great if someone else on your instance is following the community. But without anyone following the community, the posts just don’t get federated at all, and the hashtag is worthless.

      Mastodon adds a hashtag

      Actually Lemmy does it, not Mastodon
