Waiting is not enough. You should be active yourself. How people will find about you if you are not finding them yourself ? Building an audiance is a tough work. You are lucky you have a supporter in read you may found that fast. But in every platform we have the same chance to be found by the right people or not. It always depends on our activity. And I didn't say that's all about the power. It's about a lot of things. I wish you watched my video to learn from my 4 years experience being with this community every single day ! You may add to all that, the proof of learning. I'm still learning and we have many people learning here everyday. How to act, how to be successful, how to create better content, how to be found, the best communities and tribes to create in. Etc. I'm doing the same in noise to be seen somehow. I'm trying to create in as many chambers as I can. That's how I get more than 50 followers in about 2 months. You can explore our communities yourself : https://hive.blog/communities . There are a lot of them.
As well it's not about what the platform is doing to you, but what about you are doing to the platform. Bring value = get value !
