I (I don't want to generalize all small artists so I don't use we) do not have more engagement on Bluesky and 80% of my followers on other plattforms won't come with me here.
I have to start from (almost) zero every time and hope that I get the right eyes to see my stuff.

I will likely need years to get a decent following here (and by that I mean around 2K or 3K) and I can only hope that nothing will happen to this platform till then.
And I try to get people to see my art, but it won't come easy to me and many other small artists.
And while I try hard to be present where I can, it's difficult to manage it all.
I know, platforms like X (and Instagram too, because Meta) should be avoided and yes, artists should absolutely try not to support these sites.
I abanonded Instagram years ago and I'll abandon X too, but even so it still hurts to start all over again and that many times.
