close-knitness comes from ape-things like familiarity and spending a lot of time around each other and looking into each other's eyes

Well, yes, but that takes time. A lot of time.

There are a couple of shortcuts. One is shared strong emotions, but that might be a bit difficult in this case. Another is purpose which leads to shared activity and forced cooperation.

I'm not seriously proposing trying to reorganize LW into purposeful teams, but you mentioned groups and plans and feedback -- what kind of activity will those groups undertake?

In person events like CFAR workshops and also the community camp I attended in Berlin seem to be good at this.
