You missed another important fragment of the lisp community: irc. If you want to see "what smart Lispers are up to" that seems like the best place to go.
If you are interested in witnessing lisp projects and collaboration, why don't you check the places specifically dedicated to hosting such things?

It's good enough, but it's getting to the point where choosing Lisp is more work and not even that fun.
most Lispers are on their own, by design most likely
Most lispers are anonymous, by design most likely
What a load of bullshit. You need to regain contact with reality: most lispers do not visit imageboards or this place, especially not the ones who have written more than 100 lines of lisp. And they do collaborate on github. Finally, you make it sound as if the lisp ecosystem is getting worse, while the opposite is the case: thanks to quicklisp, asdf, github and the like working with lisp is the easiest it has been in quite some time. Truth is, working with any language outside of the top 20 is a pain in the ass due to a lack of libraries and tools; that's why clojure and other embedded lisp are popular.
