It's actually kind of nice not to worry about engagement. On X you want your post to do well to beat an algorithm. Here you just post whatever. It's mostly for you, but it's also interesting to see what people are doing.
Wouldn't you be more motivated if somebody left a comment on your update or just left a like?
I think the meaning of engagement is polluted with what people are trying to achieve on X or other platforms. What I mean by engagement on WIP is just that people see and acknowledge what you do, but also kind of push you to become better.
All I can say is that basing your motivation or happiness on if someone is liking your posts is a shitty way to live regardless of which platform you’re on

People post so much updates here, including the smallest life updates so it's impossible to like everything (i usually leave a couple likes in a day)
People do see your posts. There is no algorithm AFAIK.
I personally get motivation from posting. If people like or comment on my stuff great but not required.
But, if somehow people stopped posting then it would feel like I post stuff on the void so it wouldn't be motivating any more.
