Having your "page" or "account" reach viral status doesn't matter as much on Mastodon. Most Mastodon users follow hashtags more than accounts. If you use a hashtag that lots of people are already following, lots of people will see it even if no one is following your account. This makes a lot of sense because instead of seeing everything an account posts, most of which may not be what your are interested in, following hashtags means you will see all posts related to your interests, even if you're not following any accounts.
