@nohaironheed yup... but I also think it's because the Fediverse does not penalize posts with external links... unlike other platforms that want to keep users locked inside their feeds. I posted the same thing a few weeks ago... on the Fediverse (high engagement) and on Bluesky (where I have 1.1k followers). TOTAL CRICKETS on Bluesky, like 0 likes and 0 comments... despite the 1100+ followers. I think they subtly hide posts with links...
