I noticed that the only transactions came from people that posted about them in a community on here.

Is there a "lensy" community on hive?

I went through their FAQ (they don't have an about us) so it is hard to figure out who they are, and the @lensy account on here hasn't posted since the Fall and similarly they don't have a very active twitter - https://twitter.com/lensynft

Without project owners pushing the traffic through marketing, there is no way for something like this to get traction, unless there is a massive demand in an existing community.

I want something like this to succeed, but I don't think I will be participating in this round. Maybe another group will give NFTs for photography a try.
