@MsDeathwish Follow people liberally and then mute or unfollow as needed once you get to know their vibe better. There’s no stigma to unfollowing. Follow tags that interest you. Also, interact! People who just post into the ether than leave (or worst, strictly post links with no context!) are just not cool. Comment on other people’s posts, engage in replies to your own!
That’s about it!

@MsDeathwish just start looking around at conversations happening and get involved in them. Post a lot, even half finished thoughts, especially half finished thoughts. Ask questions, lots of questions. People here love answering questions

@brettm when you say content warn do you mean literally like a "CW: Politics"? Or put it in hashtags?

@noondlyt @MsDeathwish And post, post, post. You currently have 28 posts. That ain’t gonna cut it.
@FeloniousPunk @noondlyt I can definitely do that, I only joined the other day
-
And post your art if you feel comfortable doing that
@noondlyt oh I have been doing. I have a load more I've yet to post though
-
You have cool art! Followed.
@passenger thankyou so much!
-
@MsDeathwish cats :3
@catsalad oh I have one of those..

Be funny. If you can't be funny, be interesting. If you can't be funny or interesting be attractive. If you can't be funny or interesting or attractive be on Twitter.
@Lana I mean I guess I can be all of those depending on your point of view

Groups and hashtags get your posts in front of people who are interested in them but might not follow you.
If you post images, a lot of people will not boost them unless they have alt text
@gbargoud thanks for the tip. I definitely need to remember alt text a bit more, thanks for the reminder!

@MsDeathwish
Oh yes, keep them comin'!

@MsDeathwish I dont think its the right mindset to have, especially on our server. I know people who have a large number of followers and they do it by being sincere and earnest, posting lots of polls and using hashtags effectively. Also, active hours are more important and boosting your old posts during them is a good idea. There are specific hours of the day when things get traction.
But, again, I dont think you want to call it building a following. I think most people here would be skeptical of such an undertaking.
@Montaagge perhaps I worded it wrong. I just meant that I wanted to interact with more people. I don't post anything that I don't consider honest. This is a totally fair point, though. I do a lot of Mutual Aid work on other platforms and that tends to help more people if I can get it in front of more people if that makes sense.
