Fortunate

I'm fortunate to have the amount of followers I do, but where are the upvotes from these followers? I might be lucky to get a hand full of upvotes here recently, even though I have started to write regularly again. I check my feed regularly and do my best to continue to comment on posts that interest me.

I'm just curious where is everyone? What can I do to really make the transition here off of Facebook as so many others are doing now. I want to meet new people and interact regularly in order to make new friends and connections but I don't really see the community I was hoping for. Am I missing something here? If so, please let me what I can do to make this more of an exchange of ideas and pleasurable for all.
