Seems likely that in person community + icebreakers/ deep question prompts are the key hacks

Caring rushes in where there is attention. Pay close enough attention to something/someone, and caring naturally wells up.

Have something at stake, or know someone who does. Have enough mental and physical energy that caring about one more thing does not grate.
