From my experience on Mastodon, it is almost impossible to be found.
Some of my toots feel like shouting into a void.
Is there anyway around this?

No.
Mastodon mindlessly copies big “horizontal” social network services, but they rely on algorithms a lot. Without algorithms, I think that platforms with categories and communities are better. That’s why before the major social networks, forums were quite popular for discussions.
This is why I like Bluesky more. The ability to create your own feed or follow feeds created by others makes it much easier to find content you want to see and even enables you to create something like a community by creating a feed that only aggregates posts that contains a certain hashtag or any other symbol or word or emoji.
