I am playing through Facebook. I have hundreds of friends, but nobody ever gives me any lives. A few weeks ago, I would have up to the maximum every day. Now, I never get more than one or two, so something is definitely different. I usually have five or six requests for lives, which seems low also, given the number of friends. Is there an issue if you play through Facebook? It seems people are not getting my requests.
Have you tried requesting lives from them? It is free to give and receive lives (it does not take away from the limit of 5 lives). Not sure about playing through Facebook. Otherwise, you could just randomly invite "friends" on Candy Crush platform itself - these don't have to be your real friends, just friends suggested by the platform, and request lives from these platform friends.
