I've had a 4 year hiatus here on tapas and no social media presence at all (20+ followers on instagram). After the hiatus, I came back to tapas and published a new comic which is about 2 months old now, with 400+ subscribers. The webtoon version only has 170. Tbh, sometimes I wonder if I'm doing this right because the growth isn't as fast as hope to be so I fuss over every detail of my comic. But maybe I'm just being too envious for comparing my success to others, i think that's a common thing for us creators.

I think what helped me the most was being feautured on staff picks, the thumbnail, the art style, and the genre (fantasy & romance). I have an anime-ish mixed style and I think that's what hooked some readers. The readers are very interactive too. I have them to thank for putting my comic on the trending section once in a while.

Now that I've got the art part covered, I'd really like to fix the 'meh' writing.
