Similar to other commenters, I've experienced the opposite: way more interaction on Mastodon than Twitter.
Unsure if you're seeking any advice, but in case you are, I notice that you make sparing to no use of hashtags in your post. Because Mastodon doesn't have a timeline algorithm to boost your posts, you really need to rely on hashtags to get your post seen. Think about hashtags more like one uses them on Tumblr rather than Twitter.
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoInterestingly I always post identical posts to twitter and mastodon and I do not use hashtags, and I still find that plenty of my mastodon posts get more engagement. It’s about 50/50 whether I get more engagement on twitter versus mastodon, and I have 800 followers on mastodon and 2000 on twitter.
- CharlieDigital 3y agoIf you have 800 followers, when they favorite or boost your posts, it will show up in the home feeds of users they are connected to, even if they don't follow the tag. I think for folks just starting on Mastodon, the right way is to properly tag the content and broadcast to a community. Then from there, follow interesting people that produce good content within that community.

IIRC, boosts will show up in your Home Timeline, follows (and possibly likes?) will result in them showing up in your Public Timeline if they are on a different instance.
