Yup, that's a major reason why people didn't want to leave twitter. They'd built a following that they didn't want to rebuilt.
I know people who hated elon Musk and had accounts on other microblogging platforms, but continued to post on twitter because that's where they got their fill of engagement.
Shifting away from reddit to lemmy is fundamentally easier than it is from Twitter to mastadon. I think it's part in due to the nature of the type of social media platforms they are.
