I run growth for a decently large startup, if you wanted to increase the audience for LW, there are numerous things you could do differently.
For better or for worse, individual blogs/content websites are fading on the web with a few notable exceptions that do growth really well. If you want to increase your audience, engaging with the large networks is generally a good first start.
Speaking as an outsider, the site seems geared to explicitly not wanting a large audience. That’s a completely reasonable decision. You should be explicit about what the goals are for this platform.
You’re right that this site is geared to not wanting a large audience in absolute terms; this post is implicitly about having a relatively larger share of the small pool of people who are intellectually engaged with LW-relevant topics.
