I'm not surprised OP isn't getting many clicks on social. It's because people don't want to click on links inside automated posts, which is what he uses for Mastodon. Those accounts do not engage in conversations, they just post links to their own site. It looks like every other blogspam post, even if that isn't the intention. You can choose to run your social media account as a syndication channel, but it's sort of like posting links on HN from your personal site only.
