Unfortunately, for the time being we just don't have enough really active users. We get a lot of unique visitors some day, but the same users are still generating the vast majority of the content sitewide (not just in your feed). It's a mystery how to get these other, invisible folks to participate. I wish I had a good answer, but sadly, it remains elusive. They must like reading, since they keep coming back, but maybe many people just think their opinion isn't wanted. Fear of being wrong keeps people silent. This is a well known phenomenon the world over, not just online. The question is how to encourage people to get over that.
