Similar, but I think that is natural at this point.
My main account has 100x as many followers on Twitter, but accumulated over many years, and I suspect a fairly substantial number are bots and/or accounts that are now rarely in use, combined with the algo pushing a culture of just following huge numbers of people which may never surface for you in the feed anyway.
If we trust the view counts on Twitter, the average tweet gets seen by just a tiny fraction of my followers.
On Mastodon, meanwhile, a very substantial proportion of my followers actively engage, and about half has shown "signs of life" (post, like, boost) in the last week or so.
That said, this will change as accounts age and slowly get abandoned there too, so it will take a long time before we see if there's a qualitative difference.
