it took me a while to get used to cohost not really showing numbers but i'm sorta used to it now. i don't really know whether my posts are getting interactions at a glance, and as such i've stopped caring so much. people comment on posts or reply (and that's nice because shouting into a void is nice but human interaction is nicer LOL), but if a post literally gets only 1 or 2 likes i'm not sat here like "oh nooo this post flopped" im just like "oh yay people liked that!"

I'm now at the point where just not seeing The Numbers feels normal to me, and I'd be upset if Cohost ever went back on this because I like The Numbers being this inscrutable thing only the OP can truly know.
i disliked it to start with, but quickly got over it and now its rewired my brain. and you do still KNOW if you've had a somewhat successful post because you'll see lots of shares on it (as i witnessed on this post) so for artists who need their work to be shared to build an audience it's still possible to see roughly when you have somewhat of a reach
Oh absolutely, it's nice to see a post get likes and shares after the fact and to have something you forgot about posting show up in your notifications or feed again.
it's just fun here in general tbh. i keep yelling at my pals to join cohost and they're dragging their hills coz they don't want to sign up for yet another social media and i get it but also this is the only social media i keep organically coming back to because it's very good and very fun & i want my pals to experience that too LOL
There's a Reddit post that called Cohost a site for "technoskeptic furries" as a point of praise and it stuck with me because not only is it right, in my experience the technoskeptic furries are the coolest ones to hang out with.
that is a very apt description omg. also reminds me that i fear that once it becomes common knowledge i'm not a furry they'll chase me from this place
Same, I've really been trying to be less obsessed with seeing the numbers rise. It's nice to just interact with ppl on here 🥰
idk if it is a side effect of numbers and stuff not mattering here, whether the people here are just built different, the atmosphere is different, or a mix of all those things, but: i also find people are far more talkative here. people are open to just interact and comment and reply and chat. like look at the post! you're my second comment! i have way more followers on tumblr than i do here but everyone is scared to comment or reply there
Omg I know, and with the insane difference between reblogs and likes!
I try and reblog as much as I can with stuff I like there so ppl's hard work gets shared, but ooof it's an uphill battle lol
But yeah the vibe here is really nice and chill, love your content and your CSS Crimes are always fun to see!
