What about you?
I take (and sometimes give) feedback. Ask follow-ups to understand feedback. Note down all the useful points received in a doc and share it with my manager. This running doc is useful at the time of appraisals and promotions. Many times, I also discuss proposals and suggestions to improve the team. I note these down in yhe same doc too. Sometimes, I ask for help to resolve alignment issues with other teams (or rarely someone inside the team).
Use 1:1s for your own growth and then for the team's growth and then lastly to meet your work objectives. Your manager should become a tool in your tool box that you can rely on as you grow in your career.

The last part is where I sometimes get up and close, and ask some very pressing questions, some of which are:
If none of these work for you, the best alternative would be to talk about the biz world, and what you can incorporate in your work/product/service.
Hope this helps! :)
My last two bosses used to hate 1:1, tried all excuses to avoid them.
"If you have any questions, just mail them over"
