The total number of people in the group is not a metric we look to in- or decrease as a metric in and on itself. About 1% from a community tends to be active within said community. The activity of this group tends to increase during univeristy holidays, and it dwindles in-between those holidays. There are professionals, hobbyists, and anything in-between in this group. As to why people lurk: I lurk in quite some groups as well, its a way to get passive knowledge of the topic by just reading a bit every so often. I'd like to foster an environment where people can learn something and help others, I am not interested in increasing or decreasing the number of people in the group
