I don’t understand how to gain traction here
Look for interesting conversations. Talk to people. Follow them. Often, they'll follow you back.
Post things that people might find interesting. Use hashtags; people often follow hashtags they're interested in, and they'll see your post even if they're not following you.
Occasionally look at the trending hashtags. If you've got something to say about one of those topics, say it and use that hashtag. Trending hashtags probably have a lot of followers, so you'll have an audience.

With no algorithm, building up a following is a slow process.
But, since there isn't an algorithm throwing your content into a black hole, you can be assured that your followers will actually see your posts. You don't have to game the algorithm because there isn't one.

Oh, also, follow people and reply to their posts. Their other followers will see your replies. If they find your replies interesting, sometimes they will follow you as well.

@argv_minus_one @potentialfox not really but like, 70% of the US population is getting a winter storm this weekend so it felt timely.

@argv_minus_one @potentialfox timezones tell me that's unlikely.

…Nope. I looked it up, and NCLEX is only a thing in Australia, Canada, and the US. And we've ruled out Australia.
So yes, snow tires are probably a good idea right about now.

As to how to find conversations, there are two ways:
1. The Trending feed. This will show you posts that are being reposted a lot, and hashtags that are being used a lot.
2. Live Feeds. This will show you everything being posted on your server (mastodon.social), other servers, or all servers.
Trending is pretty obvious, but don't underestimate Live Feeds. It's basically a firehose of random content. You might stumble upon something new and interesting there.

@potentialfox Your bedroom photos look way too much like some girl that is here to get some money from desperate guys. Or promoting some OF.
Which will probably work but not for me. -

@potentialfox If I am wrong please tell me because this is how it comes over too me.

@MisterMaker my response should have made it obvious you’re wrong. I don’t need or want money, definitely don’t have an OF.

@potentialfox Search for hashtags of your interests and follow them is a good start.
