Recently it's seemed that a lot of developer communities are moving over to Discord from the myriad of dispersed platforms (like Github issues, Slack, or message boards like Spectrum). Discord has been a great way to connect with other developers across the world on the instanenous level only real-time chat can provide. There's nothing like having a problem, going to the #help chat, and getting 4+ insightful responses right away. It's also nice to have the option to spin up a voice or video chat with fellow devs and work out a problem together.
Here's a list of developer Discord communities that I've discovered and joined over time.

Wow! Great additions! I'm happy to see PHP represented more. Thanks!
With discord I don't have to pay a penny and I can scroll back into the past until infinity. Not so with Slack. Slack seems to have been made by super-rich silicon valley devs for super-rich silicon valley devs.
Yes! This is why I also like Spectrum. It's like Discord, but it's more like a real forum/message board, where you can link to threads and discussions. Much better for archival.
thx 4 ur info, bro

I recommend Svelte & Tailwind CSS discord channels :)
These must be lit right now 🔥 been seeing a lot of svelte and tailwind discussion, will have to check them out. Thanks for the recommendation!
You're welcome and thanks for helping out the community~
Tailwind CSS link is broken.
Some of the links don't work like the Tailwind one. It just says link expired.
I would say another great coding community is discord.gg/XTsCQNd (World of Coding).
Please suggest a discord community for reactjs and js
