My friends set up a CMS by invite only (people we know IRL). Hundreds of us there and yet only a handful are active.

People want to be where the action is (more so than where the quality is). FOMO.

Those niche places act like a filter, pretty much alike as the whole internet was about ~20 years ago. Yeah, there may be fewer people around, but those people tend to be quiet a bit more interesting.
