Switching from a consumer to a creator: I realized that if I want more people to engage w/ content, I have to be the change I want to see. I interact w/ content more regularly as a result
Update settings so that 'Sort Type = New': There isn't as much content as Reddit just yet, and so the default 'sort by active' threads results in seeing the same threads for too long in many communities. Changing my view to 'new' highlighted new content more clearly, and seeing others make the effort to create new conversations encouraged me to try to comment on their content.
Try the desktop/mobile/app versions: The experiences are different across the multiple platforms. Find out which one works best for your workflow

In addition to sorting by new I recommend switching to 'all' if you currently use 'local' or 'subscribed' for the same reason - you'll get access to more content and the place will feel a lot busier.

I have discovered this is needed for now. I am used to mastodon where opening the fedi timeline is a bad idea on all but the smallest instances
