This post is mainly for newbies, but I guess older members can take the advice too.
Don't just create a topic for creating's sake; create it because you want to learn/know something, or you're passing on information or news.

This is a discussion forum, and the only way you can learn is by discussing. Just dropping a topic and not reading to see what people are discussing on the topic doesn't make sense. Make use of the Telegram bot or any other ways to keep track of replies to your topics and posts, interact, and not just drop topics and forget about them.
I'm a newbie and my last started topic is about an article that I really liked. I use the Telegram Notification Bot to monitor the replies and respond to them.
No offense to anyone, but if you read the replies there, it seems like most people don't really want to discuss. OP here was the only one who actually read the article and shared his opinion. Though I still try to respond to the others as best as I can.
As for cases like this, I'll be quoting Satofan44 from a different post since it fits perfectly here.
~ Quantity helps people who post lower quality posts. The more posts of yours get read the higher the chance that you will catch a merit on one of them.
However, if you create extremely high quality posts or contributions you are going to do better for fewer posts though.
