Love these tips! Definitely agree being active in discussions is huge. I always try to comment on products I'm interested in or have tried. Another one is following top hunters and makers to see the new products they're surfacing. And upvoting/commenting on launches early to help great products gain traction. The PH community is so supportive when you engage!

From my experience, being active in discussions is key. Asking thoughtful questions or sharing personal takes on products makes your profile stand out.
Don't rush to post or upvote everything. Taking a moment to explore, engage meaningfully, and share your perspective makes a bigger impact as a new user.
If you're launching a product soon, take time to comment on other products beforehand. It not only gets your name out there but also shows you're here to be part of the community, not just self-promote.
It helps to learn from others' comments. Seeing how experienced users engage with products can give you an idea of how to provide value to the community.
One of the most helpful things I did was start by following categories and makers I'm interested in.
Try to ask insightful questions. That sparks conversations and gets you more familiar with the product development space.
