I totally understand what you are saying gabby! 96 votes and no single reply yet sometimes the community is really artificial in here. I read your post and can relate too. I myself am a smaller account who wants to grow but I am also making advantage of the dapps, bots,... But still I prefer some interaction and comments over amount of votes and stuff. Take care
Yeah 96 votes because i bought some promotion. The sad truth is if nowdays we dont promote the post nobody dont see it. Because all the trending and riseing posts are promoted.
Usually i try to make a post about serious topics. Sometimes i just share about my life. But the sad truth is if the people dont see the money they ignore it and maybe that is a fantastic post.
So actually i am trying hard to open the eyes of the community. To make friends to comment. That is the only way that steem can be "healthy" in the future.
Also it is quiet hard to onboard people like this. Imagine if you are not strong enought than after you sign up 2 weeks and ciao. You leave. But if there lets say i will invite you here as a friends for sure i will always check your profile.

Dear @gabbynhice
My impression is that the best way is to focus on building strong follower base and keep sending them notifications (via memo) about your new publications.
Anything in trending or in your newsfeed is becoming "old" very quick. Memos are easier to manage.

Right now i am also on the case to build some community.
I make a social experiment. I dont sell any of my votes. I set it up for 95% but as you see i cant reach it😁 instead of that i give my votes to those who comment😉

Love to hear that. It's the way to go if you want to stay on Steemit in a long run.
Cheers,
