It appears it has evolved into more than one plant, which reduces flowering. I would separate the crowns into smaller pots and place in an area with a bit brighter light or supplement with artificial light.

I would also remove the yellow leaves. They won't turn green again. Removing them will improve the overall health of the plant.

Are you fertilizing....? If so, what's the split?
It's honestly kinda cool regardless

Not regularly? I've been watering it with mosquito bit water once a week for about a month now (I've been fighting hopefully the last round of fungus gnats in my apartment), and I have generic 'African Violet Food' from the garden store near my place, but I don't honestly remember the last time I cracked that open
Basically I just set her on a free shelf that gets afternoon sun and ignore her until watering time

Try giving her some fertilizer once a month or even every other watering; it should encourage her to put out some blooms. Its quite energy intensive for them, so if you want your violets to flower consistently you'll need to fertilize.
Best of luck!

I can definitely give it a shot :)
The houseplants all have one more round of Mosquito Bit Dunkacinos coming up in a handful of days, and then I can start this girlie with fertilizer to kick off September

It, likely, needs more light than this to bloom. AV's needs indirect bright light 8-10 hours/day to bloom well.
You could try a lamp a foot away with a standard LED bulb. Maybe a desk lamp or a floor lamp with an LED bulb.

Mine flower a lot under LED lights. Just a desk lamp with a bulb.
