People generally discover my blog via LinkedIn, Reddit, Twitter, Mastodon, Lobsters and Hacker News. I personally have no idea how big the following for my blog is and I really don't care to know. If you keep writing consistently you end up getting more domain authority and people will find you more easily on search engines. If your only goal is to make number go up, then you will have to chain-spam things. I think I have found a way to avoid having to do that by having my blog automatically post to Mastodon when I make a new post.

My RSS feed is most of my egress bandwidth to the point that I'm considering putting my RSS feed into my CDN to speed things up.
