How to get discovered on Mastodon? (lemmy.zip)

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?

Most discovery is via hashtags since you can subscribe to one (for example #press gets you lots of news).

Also, following and blocking individual accounts, as appropriate. You're not going to get the sort of random exposure to strangers that algorithmic boosting gets you on other social media.
