Indeed! I find the comment sections some times to be even more interesting than the original post.
But its important to find your own community of the things you like and know about, and comment on stuff that really interest you, doesn't matter if you ask questions, give compliments or just have a debate about a matter. As long as its relevant contribution to the blogpost, its all good!
Also don't get discouraged after not receiving many votes and trying for a week, it will come in time. The community is growing all the time and making connections is as important now as it will always be.
follow me and upvote my posts... I will do that for you as well, we can help build a network for each other...
You shouldn't see it as just a random group of people following random accounts just to vote because you are part of it. That's not the right way to think about this platform, in my opinion.
Just connect with the people/tags you are interested in yourself and it will all come naturally over time. More people are joining every day, you are sure to make connections that you can relate with instead of just random groups blindly giving their votes to their own group of authors.
I hope you understand my viewpoint. I don't like voting on something just cause all others are voting on it because of a reason other than the content quality.
