Heya!
While I don't struggle with the issue you have, as I have a very other view on this all. I find plots and the like only really work with a small group of people.
In other RP community? Sure, bigger crowds could work, but the chat eating text, the chat in general being terrible to navigate, limited slots in party, the fact we're incapable of making alliances and all basically leaves a lot to be desired in regards of DMing stuff for people.
Personally? If you enjoy those social nights yourself, whether it is attending them or just running them for other people? Continue to do it! But do try to pick out people who are up for plot things. But keep it small you know? Unless you want to run bigger plots, you have to sacrifice more time and/or find more DMs to help you out, but I'm not sure if you want to do that either. Also just because this is what I prefer and works better for me on a smaller scale so far doesn't mean it will work for you, or if it's even the advice you're looking for.
Same as Kileit stated above, I will be watching this thread in case someone has better advice. I'd love to see more suggestions on running plots for bigger crowds because it is something I struggle with as well.
Also, make sure you don't get too frustrated and/or burned out by things. There's no shame in stepping back either for a little while!
