Follow more people, and more people will follow you. Also, it isn't Twitter. You're not going to make huge numbers, nor should you expect to. Also, if you can afford it, a hosted install on masto.host (which I use[0]) will let you federate, but you'll end up using too much space to stay on the lowest tier. And you can have multiple accounts on multiple servers, which is what I did before (now they redirect to my one instance) and it's manageable through a third party client or password manager.
