Just engage, add to the conversations, and engage some more. Not every comment needs a response, so we pick our spots where we can add.
If there's something we don't understand, it's OK to ask questions. Sometimes we add value by asking questions, especially if people leave us with answers we find useful.

This is amazing, Am going to do more engagements, just trying to know how better i should engage but i trust that its taking shape by the day, am getting to understand this community. thanks @magnacarta
You're welcome, @ekotmordemy. The point of engagement is to get people familiar with your account name to the point where they are willing to upvote your content (whether it's a comment or a post). People have to see that besides replying that you offer something besides words:
I'm not saying to bare your soul here-- there are other places for that. I'm just saying to make your comments count in ways that make people remember your name and say "Oh yeah,
@ekotmordemywas right when said this about CROP" or "What he said about SIM was true last year, but since then SIM went up (or down)."Any of us can make lots of comments, but how many of our comments stick out in people's minds? Even worse, how many of our comments make people say "he's commenting just to make comments?"
Show people how you can help as you engage, even if it's to say "Don't do that-- I tried it and this is how I got REKT." With a comment like that, it shows that getting REKT sucked for you and you don't want others to make that mistake.
Your comments need to add value as much as possible. Not all comments will be like that, but more than most need to be. If people get the impression-- wrongly or rightly-- that you comment just for numbers or just for the sake of making comments, that turns people off to engaging.
Long comments can be just as bad, and this is where I get in trouble. This is where people say "He's right (or he's wrong), but when's he going to stop? Just knock me out already!" I know people are in line with their ticket numbers to tell me this. I have to learn to make my comments shorter.
The point is, we want people to feel good about our account names when they see them. We also have to offer people something of value as we engage with them. After a while, they will want to give us upvotes, and if they still feel good about makeing their upvotes they will upvote us more freely.
As we engage, we have to make sure the engagement goes in both directions and both people feel good about it. If we can do that, we're doing OK.
