It's all about finding your people & letting them know you're here, too. If something resonates with you, maybe what you have to say will resonate with them as well. Be social where it feels right. Expect that people are still people, though. There is no easy hack to gaining a social reputation.
If you're not finding your people, then do your best to bring your people here. Everyone should have the opportunity to experience free association. You can create your own space within any part of the nostr ecosystem. If the app you are using feels as though you are being placed into a group that doesn't fit you, try another. Nostr isn't an app itself, it's a way to communicate that breaks down the walls that force every into the same room.
