Simply, the Twitter algorithm is designed to require you to put in 10x the content to get seen. Since Twitter controls which tweets get seen, they naturally steer them to the tweets that cause users to stick around. On Mastodon, there is no algorithm; your feed is the tweets of the accounts you followed, period. (Okay, there are plenty of other options but they all appear to be non-algorithmic.)
So the folks who post 100 times a day are probably getting less, but your average person who posts once a day or month is probably getting more. Infinity more, because Twitter simply does not show tweets from average users at all.
