community forum
Online gathering place
A community forum is an online space where people discuss shared interests, exchange information, and seek help from others with similar concerns.
Forums organize conversations into threads—a question or topic followed by responses.
Though older than social media, forums remain active for technical support, hobbies, and niche communities: I found the answer on a community forum for vintage guitar collectors.
