"Engagement" is sort of a BS metric, but people do guage the sociability of social media by how much the network engages with them. So if you want to build a community around some hobby or interest, boost, like and reply liberally when people post about it. That makes the interest more visible to others, and makes the person posting feel like the network is paying attention to what they have to say. (Which it is!)
