Community forums really do have the best of the casual people <3 Sadly, I haven’t found a community that is lasting & active- that is small enough for family home. We do have a community channel set up, and a public /used discord if you just want company to hang out with. I’m not sure it should be encouraged-- I saw the words… medical school… in there… 
good luck <3
