How to get discovered on Mastodon?

From my experience on Mastodon, it is almost impossible to be found.

Some of my toots feel like shouting into a void.

Is there anyway around this?

Why would you want to be discovered?

Depending on the answer a lot of things can be done IMO.

I want to be able to engage with the community, even if it is just a couple of replies.

Keep replying, be civil and people will engage with you. Most of us switched to Mastodon to avoid engagement algorithms

Well I'd say just use popular hastags related to your posts and reply to other people.

I'm on Mastodon since 2017 and it will build slowly as you will get much more favs than direct replies anyway.
