I mean, almost literally here, right? If you have no followers and create a new note, does anyone see it?

But, this isn't all that much different than X, really. I've been active there since like 2011, and only recently have my 'solo' posts been noticed much if at all.

I spent years responding in conversations of people who are seen, and thus I was seen, and slowly picked up followers. I suspect it is similar here.
