Few days ago I celebrated my first 500 followers on Dev.To.🎉
Actually, YOU 👋 are first 500 followers in my life, and I am glad that it happend on D...
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
I have 121 followers, but I think they are bots...
I've noticed a few obvious bot accounts on Dev. Fake profile pictures also on a few. I hope it doesn't get out of hand 😳
Don't expect too much.
I had the experience that active followers are in the single digit percent range.
If you have under 1k followers, you can consider yourself to be lucky if you get >10 reactions once in a while, let alone some comments, haha.
This is overall a situation where a lot of folks follow during onboarding and a decent percentage of them don’t ultimately become very active beyond lurking. Net engagement is way up but average engagement is still mostly just lurking.
There are some bots here and there but this experience would be largely inactive or not-yet-active users.
Sounds reasonable. Often 10 times more people view an article than they react on it.
Taking advantage of @ben reply, I would like to explain my statement well: I'm a lurker myself..don't have a single post,only fews comments; it happened that (and it happens in waves) I have some follower emails. Checking the follower profile, it shows that it is just created... So, I don't really understand why anyone can make a profile only to follow me...I'm not an influencer here! [moreover all this is not related to my (low) activity].
Congrats Alexandra, great milestone! Keep up the good articles :)
I have quicly browsed Apsose website, seems to be a great tool (mostly the PDF generation/manipulation). Do you think it will be able to use Apsose for Javascript?
(P.S.: this poster picture cracks me up xD)
Thank you!😊
Aspose has Cloud APIs as well.
And, there is support for NodeJS, for example:
Congrats!
Took me a year to get to 1000 and another one to get to 10000.
Consitency is the key!
Thank you!
Yes, consistency is important. If you stop posting - the "show" stops.
Congrats for your 500 followers! I only have 416 XD
Just few more and we can congratulate you too!
Hahahaha
Twitter absolutely has not mitigated bots. I'm on there every day and it is full of canned political posts. Am a voluntary mod on DEV if you have a specific post you want to report you should be able to report abuse
🎉 Congrats!!!
Nice great going! I almost got 4k followers in these 4 or 5 months which is surprising because I only wrote few articles.
