Use forums rather than Slack/Discord to support developer community
Do yourself a favor and avoid SMF if possible. It "works", but has terrible code quality (prime example [1]) and the addon/module system operates by diffing the original PHP source file and then patching in the needed changes. As you can imagine, this quickly leads to a lot of issues when updating or using multiple addons.

Please don't use Discord for FOSS projects
Agree with regards to forums. I think hyperkitty [1] is probably the best of both worlds, i.e. a forum-like webinterface to mailinglists. Not sure why this is not used more often.

Hyperkitty provides a nice web interface on top of mailing lists:
https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty
All Fedora mailing lists use it and it works well IMHO.

Alternative to MailMan? Subscriber email lists and replies - Linux
Mailman typically works with an optional sysadmin portal and an archive manager using https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius and https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty but I don't recall it being a mail server, just a list manager. Any suggestions welcome.
- Perhaps the fine folks at SelfHosted have some suggestions.
