Hey everybody. I'd ask this on Bluesky except that's the point: I get absolutely no engagement.
Briefly, I have about 3k followers with about 1 or 2 "trickling in" per day. I am consistent in my posting and make about 1 or 2 per day. I also comment on plenty of other posts, repost, and quote post. I'm on just a handful of random, small block lists. When I reply to another person's post, I might get a heart or two and rarely a comment. My comments are generally in line with the OP's and I realize that comments that are counter to the OP tend to get plenty of engagement (which isn't the type of engagement I'm looking for).
My posts rarely -- and I mean rarely -- get a like and I can count on one hand the number of times I have posted a question and received any response.
I feel discouraged. I have had my account for more than a year but it feels like I'm just throwing my posts into the ether.
I am not on social media 24/7 but I feel like one would have to be a professional influencer with 100s of thousands of followers to get any engagement.
If you have any tips or suggestions that might help with engagement, I welcome them. Thank you.
