I think that engagement on posts moving forward will be based primarily on the content that you are writing. Although I am relatively new to the HIVE platform, I have had a decent amount of viewers and upvotes, I have gone into different Communities and have noticed that people do view your post but not upvote, perhaps you are right on the Community Aspect, but eventually will vote if they appreciate your content. A good friend and fellow Hiver OG said to me, nothing is guaranteed, just produce quality content and it will happen organically.

Thanks Mango for dropping by sorry took some time to respond to this life has been quite busy.
Yes I agree to this, some will just view and forget to comment and upvote the post. Most likely people will comment to such content if they already made an interaction with other person around ( still not a guarantee but the chances to achieving is higher than not engaging at all.)
+1 to this and make sure that the tags and community where it is posted is correct as well. Some people are missing that out and keep the post in their own blog only.
