some of the communities occasionally lapse for awhile over here, because our fandom on IJ is smaller than it was on LJ. But places like coffeeclub, retread, bunnies, qaf_icons, the daily love and drabbles are never quiet more than a couple of days. And all of the ones I listed get used when possible and aren't forgotten about by any means. we also have a lot of people with some very active personal journals and i encourage you to friend people. For the most part people here are very open to friending. I definitely hope you feel free to friend me and stop lurking :D
