Where there is 1, there are many. I rest your honour. I'm a bit torn here. One one hand I agree with you that there should be more resources for Nix itself as a development and deployment system. On the other hand I agree with Oliver that at our current community size fragmentation could become a serious problem. My two cents is that at this point it's probably better to post this information via @nixostips. However, you could use your new account for retweets from the more well known sources, whenever you find something relevant to non-NixOS users. That should make the information flow sufficiently hierarchial to avoid fragmentation or at least make it apparent to followers. In either case the name @nixpkg is very unfortunate and especially misleading to existing NixOS users (because of an actual project called Nixpkgs). A name like @nixtips would be more appropriate, should you decide to keep maintaining it.
