@xgranade@wandering.shop I don't post there personally, but if you're a maker of anything that's really fringe, the chances are that for example on Mastodon you'll connect with maybe 1 or 2 people and then some people who reply 'cool' to your cool things but have no idea what's truly cool about it.
It's a sad reality of needing the huge mass of users to find the very few who are interested in that specific fringe topic, a bit like in the web's early days where the small town single hobbyist finally found others online.
I'm not for Meta or any of the other big companies, but at the same time I know selling Fediverse for example to such people is pretty futile. Some of them try it, post for a year or two, have absolutely no fruitful contacts and then just leave. It's easier if you're about some topic that's already popular around here.
