Think about the number of “notes” vs “replies” you have. I think the balance should be heavier on the replies. 

Everyone wants interaction, everyone wants someone to read their notes and engage with them. So do it first. Spend all your time trying to reply and build the ideas, jokes, notes, and other stuff people put out and you’ll build friendships here. 

Do that long enough and people will see you and your npub as trusted, and start engaging with you more.
