My suggestion is try lots of things & see what suits you best. It's not always easy to tell from a few posts so persistence & finding the right audience is key. Maybe start with a post on your topic that is popular & create similar.
A little mystery, humor, random facts, useful tips stuff like that all helps. The hard part is getting the first bit going (people & algos), enough that your stuff gets noticed.
Let's bump @ben
because he is really good at writing engaging internet stuff & has good advice. Literally, he didn't make dev.to & then start giving good advice. He gives good advice & that's why he had to build dev.to. 😃

Thanks Vuild again for taking the time to write your comment.
I enjoyed your comments in @theringleman
's tweet and I have also taken note.
As in any other area, practice makes perfect. And as you say, it is best to do tests to see what works and what does not.
I like the idea of doing something special, like the tips you mention (humor, mystery, curiosities). My idea had been that, I wanted each post to have a different aesthetic (a bit of art?) But in Dev.to is not so easy to play with the visual aspect so I think that later, as my content evolves, it may be that I take the post to a blog of my own where I can experiment in that aspect. At the moment I am happy putting pictures that are made by myself. That is my "artistic" contribution.
The next post will have this ideas. I hope it goes well.
This is exactly it, be fearless (we can always close the internet for you if you post something you are embarrassed by). Experiment, risk failing to know where success is. Don't worry about it.
Post 10 will be 5x better than post 1. By post 50, it will always be busy. You can mix it up, some here, some there etc. Same as you would try most things. Better to fail small & learn than worry & maybe fail bigger from lack of experience.
Focus on stuff that attracts people because the feedback helps a lot (share it well, say clever things etc). Something that represents you is easy to be more original with (like your art choices).
Bump me if you don't see me on your next thread & comment off topic again. Gl. 👍😊
