The nature of a social network is to become big enough to attract most people or to stay a niche community.
But the process takes time. Right now the niche expanded significantly, but didn't reach the critical mass yet.
How the dynamic happens though is still mysterious. Accessibility is the first and most important feature though. Then, you need to keep up with the time and innovations, but it might be hard to see.
IMO the focus should be accessibility. Which will become difficult because elitist asshats are already fighting against growing the community, and accessibility is the easiest place for gatekeeping.
