I feel like the boundaries between worlds have to be a little more robust than that. Otherwise this sort of thing would be way more common...and probably a lot harder to go unnoticed.
Why not look at it another way? Rather than this place sucking us in, maybe it's our bonds that draw us to each other. You're right that there's so many of us here by now that it seems impossible it could just be random selection from among all possible worlds, and yet crop up such a number of us from the same place. But if you look at it as the bonds between people connecting us, then you'd get a similar effect.
Even then, though, it's not a foolproof theory. You, Sylvain, and Dimitri are all here, but Ingrid hasn't followed. I'm here, but Hilda isn't. But if your sinkhole theory was right, then more and more people from our world would be flooding in faster and faster, wouldn't they? And it wouldn't explain how Dedue went back through to go home, either...not that my theory explains that one any better.
Let's face it, it's all just guesswork. But I'm not sure either of us are guessing along the right lines.
