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

My biggest issue is i can sort post sort to new as default, but if i open a post comments are sorted as hot with no ability to change it in settings.

Yes, a good rule of thumb is to try and submit at least one good post per day. I don't know how the algorithm works here, but over on the other site, it only feeds one post into the feed of your users if your sub is small.
