FWIW - I say, just keep posting your content, stuff that is real to you. Those that it resonates with will upvote and reply, those who don't, don't. We live in a society of instant gratification. That mindset won't work here. What will is, being part of a community who shares their content "directly" with one another. The freedom to choose or not to choose to follow, read, reply or upvote. Keep moving forward, the rewards are to those who persevere.
