I have my own personal chatroom for friends, which I now spend most of my time on. Most of my favourite forums and IRC rooms died, and the few remaining hardcore users moved to Discord, and it's just not the same. I have the same problem you do. It's very difficult to find a community similar in scale or content to the stuff I used to post on. I used to be able to pop into a community and learn just by listening to people far smarter and more experienced than I. You should try Matrix and XMPP chats. It's the closest thing I've experienced.
