I did some experiments and posted the same content on Twitter and Mastodon. I got 50% more engagement on Mastodon, despite the fact that I have 5 times more followers on Twitter. Engagement per follower was therefore 7.5 higher on Mastodon. This is my academic bubble. In other areas, the numbers will look different, of course. But it shows that your general claim of no engagement is simply wrong.
