Several people have noticed during upgrades that it's hard to find peers in #eth2 - there's a couple of reasons so let's go over them, but long story short, it's generally good and cheap for yourself and the network to set a high maximum peer count and allow incoming connections!

For those of you building from source, we've recently updated our branch lifecycle. This means we'll be gradually phasing out the old master branch. If you're still building from master, please switch to the new stable branch when you have a chance.
