I think a lot of LJ fandom is a bit like that, to be honest. Especially the bigger fandoms, because I think people are more inclined to get cliquey and not to bother reading fic by people they don't know because there's so much out there anyway. In my experience, small fandoms can even be better, because there's so little fic out there that everyone reads everything.
I have to admit I don't find AO3 much better though, some of the time. Hardly anyone comments over there, though as you say, at least you can see people are reading.
