That is hardly LLMs fault here. I have created/contributed to a number
of personel propjects, but not yet been able to create any sort of
community with any of them (that didn't already have a community that
is).

I think creating a healthy community (i.e. with people contributing as
well as people using) will be just as hard regardless of if you used an
LLM or not.
