HELP: How the dev.to community works?

Hi Tigers,

I have been posting for a few months on dev.to.

I see the number of followers grows steadily (now almost 3000 followers).

BUT.

When it comes to interaction, I struggle to create any meaningful conversation that goes beyond some words it the comment section.

• Is it how the platform works?
• Is there anything I should be doing to make real conversations happen?
• Is there something I am missing out?

Thanks!
