There is quite a bit of activity happening around the spec, I believe (though I'm not following it too closely), but lots is spread around a number of different repositories [1], and it's not immediately clear which are active. (People are discussing how to improve that [2].)
In terms of servers: there has indeed not been too much activity there recently, which relates to efforts having mostly focused on stabilising the spec (as far as I've seen, at least) rather than new things having been added.
It's undeniable that Inrupt and the project are very intertwined, given how many of the original project members are working for/with Inrupt, and it being founded by TimBL. I think both the community and Inrupt are still figuring out the best way to work together. And I think we've had the reverse problem as well to some extent, where the community might be making themselves a bit too dependent on Inrupt. I think the project can grow in two (complimentary) ways: top-down, with large organisations getting the project adopted at scale in big bangs, and bottom-up, where early adopters encourage additional adoption and it spreading from there. Inrupt is probably best positioned to support the former, but we haven't seen too much from the latter yet. That said, there are a number of community projects that aim to make a dent there, and the best way to keep up with those is through the This Month in Solid newsletter [3].
