We have a fairly active but very new user feeling some woes over having no followers here. I think we all know how hard it is to start on a new network. Check them out and consider following them, and give'em a warm welcome, lets show that fediverse spirit: @snow

There are plenty of people to be social with, even having zero followers.
In the days of Usenet, the original social media that was never called that, there wasn't any such thing as a "follow" yet people managed to have conversations and debates... sometimes going on for months, all without anyone following anyone.
I think there's more to wanting followers than just wanting to be social... certainly it has to do with external validation, very nearly alluded to by snow... and yet, external validation comes without followers also.

I don't follow. You believe you would have less engagement if you didn't know the number of followers?
