What are the reasons for the low engagement on this platform?

Furthermore, we find that anonymous profiles are problematic in a forum of this nature

Is it? I don’t mind. In the end it’s about what someone contributes. Can you maybe give examples why anonymity could be an issue?

We also believe that this forum could support the creation of meaningful global communities of practice and resource networks

People are free to start such projects in their chapter, which of course is encouraged

We appreciate that trust can be earned through engagement; however, this initially requires trust from new members in the community.

This forum makes use of trust levels. Based on that people get more access, features and privileges on this forum. When in trust level 0 (TL0) there are extra checks enabled for auto moderation, anti-spam and things like that. It will help scale the forum as well. And people with higher trust levels are basically soft moderators. And everyone can flag posts. So trust is earned and secured, in a nice community way.

This is therefore covered. But on a daily average there are 10 unique logged in users and a few dozen regular visitors. And as you can see, if only one of those logged in users starts to make some noise, activity sparks. So I thank you for that

which is a testament to what is possible with focused effort. Is this your work, @Kees?

I indeed manage and develop this forum. But 99,9% of the development is done by the Discourse project. Which is used by many communities around the world:
