While I generally agree: in this case - you hit most of the points I cared to have mentioned. But considering that lack of participation that comes with small(er) communities, I’d rather have provided some input (visual or otherwise) to encourage further participation, or to at least have furthered the perception.
Otherwise, I don’t have much to add. We just need more bodies doing more things here at the Fediverse in more niche communities that we care about. The issue with the larger audience is it tends to transform into the “Hive Mind” that we all know and love. Because lurkers (such as myself) don’t typically add to conversations when we feel our thoughts have been well enough captured (eg - “this”).

A double-edged sword, for sure.
