"However I know who my regular followers are out of 3000.. and it’s probably more like 15-20 max?!"
I have noticed the same thing. I get a few auto votes and some random people will drop random manual ones and maybe one or two of them will comment but I probably only have a handful of regular readers who come by and comment often.
I, personally, curate everything manually so I interact with what I happen to see in my feed but there are a few people I go out of my way to look for. I would guess that your regulars really like what you have to say and make a point to seek it out. If you have 15 or 20 people like that on your side, I would say that you are doing great.
well ghee whiz I know I’m lucky! Thanks for dropping by and agreeing!
