Eggbug was here. Eggbug mattered.

Goblin Party @ My Brain 24/7 | A week shy of 33 before Cohost closed. Cis, ACAB forever, Trans Rights Are Human Rights forever.

RIP Cohost 2024. You were the best social media site to have ever been done. Long live eggbug. If you're seeing this in the future, on some archive, be kind to others. It's the only way things get better.

And what would you say is the average number of comments you see on chosts on your timeline?

I wonder about engagement here. I am pro-Cohost-No-Social-Media-Numbers stance, but I also wonder if what I'm seeing is completely local to me or not.

Because the average for me is 0 comments on chosts I see. Highest was, I think, 16. Not on my chosts, either - just in the wild grasses of Cohost.

I know Cohost doesn't have a mandatory main thoroughfare, that the global feed tags are basically optional, but I didn't think the impact would be this big, and I wonder if it is. My perception is limited (truer words ne'er spoke). I wonder then if it's how most folx here want to engage - mostly lurking, throwing down likes and shares, maybe doing some tag-commenting, and chosting their biz at their leisure.

I know for damn sure that I get not only more general engagement here than I did elsewhere (more consistently, too - not just in weird virality bursts), but it feels more genuine here, in most part due to the lack of comparable numbers, which, again, is good.
