Slack, discord, and similar chatty places. It's very niche, so joining several is helpful.

Quite a few active channels on IRC (Libera.chat) as well!

Can you recommend any specific communities on Slack/Discord?

GameDevNetwork is a pretty chill one for game development.

Lots of new people but also some big industry people there.

For the .NET ecosystem (and also related topics), there is the excellent and very active C# Discord server.

You can find me on there as NathanAldenSr#2130.

How do you find those communities? Do you simply Google: Slack +"data scientists" or do you use a specific community directory?

In Aus/NZ, there's View Source and DevANZ (both Slack).
