Congrats, keep up the good work!
I'm not sure what happened for the last few days. In like a week, I had a growth of 25% (with about the same size of followers as you have) and nothing really explains it...
Have you seen similar patterns?
I published my first post here on 2nd July and I now have 600 followers - please, please don't tell me they are all bots or something :( It was so exciting to see that someone might be at least somewhat interested!
The main way folks gain followers on DEV is to follow this algorithm:
Because our rate of new registrations has been accelerating, anybody consistently posting good stuff in the right tags is getting a lot of followers
Thanks Ben! It's really great to see that dev.to is growing fast! :)
Thanks, @ben ! Do you understand why there are spikes? Do more people join on specific days of the week or is it related to some marketing?
Instagram, Facebook etc: We can't explain why the algorithm boosts more pages than others, there are a million different variables that go into the decisions our systems make
@ben : Hold my pink DEV merch...
I've noticed that DEV folks tend to engage with content here ALOT more than anywhere else I've posted. @ben lays out the why pretty concicesly! That is awesome you're getting a ton of new followers too!
Yeah, I'm just a bit suspicious, when I gain more followers than reads :D
Congratulations πππ
Keep it going :)
Great. πβ€οΈβ€οΈπ€π€π€
