Feature request: It would be nice to check if people are active. If someone is not active for a while, they should get a warning to start being active or their account will be removed. This is especially for those who really wanted an invitation, but then did nothing when they got it. I remember back in the day how bad I felt when this happened on Dribbble. Invitations were very wanted, and I gave two to people who did nothing. Same story as @McPizza described in another thread.
I emphasize with your frustration, but I'm not sure there's much we can do about people not using WIP. It might just not be for them and they wouldn't really know until they give it a try.
Here's what I'll do:
Give out more invites. Then it should be okay if not everybody uses their account.
Improve onboarding of new members. For example, by giving you, the inviter, more tools to help these new people get the most out of WIP.
I'm a new member, and I agree with improving onboarding!
There's a 5-step checklist, which is great, but I'd love to see a more in-depth one about creating and logging in project progress. I like your idea about the inviter helping their invitees too. I definitely feel like I've just been thrown in the deep end haha.
I think the best way is actually to dive in and see how others are using it.
Perhaps we should have a better way of finding makers to follow (based on your personal interests, time zone, etc). So you get better examples.
I’ll also give some thought to your idea of having more of a guide. If you any suggestions or questions you’d like to see answered, please let me know!
Making it easy to find other similar (active) makers is a great idea!
I've noticed I've naturally just found people I vibe with over the last few days, but I've made an intentional effort to be part of the community instead of just passively sharing updates.

But agree on removing the old inactive users.
An email notice and bye.That could help them to engage, even like something can make them active

Are there any specific “filters” you’d like to see to find relevant members?
Anything you’d like to know about them, that’s not currently visible in the profiles, before reaching out?
And finally, how do you prefer to reach out? I’ve been considering adding a direct message system to WIP
