As an outsider looking in, and as someone who's been in these sort of groups before (be they themed FC's or themed LS's), I can tell you that "I don't know who these other characters are and what they could do for my character" is one of the most significant potential hurdles that members can have in reaching out to each other for RP.
Say you have a thief and a fence. If the thief doesn't advertise over open channels that they've stolen some rare gems and are now looking to get rid of them for a tidy sum of gil (advertising is a risky proposition to begin with, could get stung) and the fence doesn't advertise that they're a point of contact within the black market who could easily manage such a transaction (again, risky proposition), then that face-to-face and that business deal are not likely to happen.
This goes for OoC as much as it does for IC. As the player of a thief character, I might not think to turn to [Insert Name Here] Linkshell as somewhere to trade goods for coin if I'm not OoCly aware that [Insert Name Here] has a number of fences among its pearl-holders.
tl;dr: seconding this question from ExAtomos.
