The common way to use LinkedIn is to create a profile, keep it updated, and then ignore the platform until you need to use the job search function.
The majority of people on LinkedIn aren't posting and interacting with things all day.
To be honest, most people I know consider being highly active (posting) on LinkedIn to be a potential warning sign for a hire, because it's associated with people who will spend more time hustling on LinkedIn for their next job than working for your company.

Personally, I've had better luck finding jobs in other ways (searching companies websites, using more old-school platforms like Indeed), compared to LinkedIn.
I check LinkedIn to see who is the next person to be laid off from my previous employer. They post a picture of their badge and write this overly positive thank you to the company for the opportunity. They laid you off after 30 years in a group video call where you can't speak, don't thank them.
I haven't posted to (or even logged into) LinkedIn since I was 17 (~15 years ago) and although I've never been hired by one even the ycombinator startups that demand it don't seem to mind and interview me.
