I host a small Discord for devs hacking on cool tech through my company (for an invite go to https://discord.multiprocess.io ). Folks here interested in compilers/databases/emulators/big data/ML are welcome to join, introduce yourself and hang out.

Sorry to be "that guy", but why Discord and not Matrix?

Go where your users already are is a pretty basic best practice.

Hey, I'm Arth. I'm the co-founder of a startup actually solving this called ConnectDome[dot]com.

It's like super-charged Lunchclub but for developers with tools that make the whole process of what you described in your post easier.

We are releasing a major update pretty soon and since it's developer-only, I might be posting a Show HN for it soon as well, you should try it ig, I could always work on feedback from more developers.

Fwiw discord was totally unwilling to let me in. 'Something is wrong', asked for an email then told me it was already registered, then asked for a date of birth and told me it's unauthorized.

Ah, that sucks. First I've heard of that happening. Maybe try with a new email or with the email+suffix@ hack?

Start a physical gathering.

There are lots of us that want to meet and aren't obsessed with corona. I hold regular weekly meetups and have done so throughout the last few years, it has been a welcome respite and I have formed some long standing and close relationships.

I have found the people I've met to be more community minded and more prone to take the initiative and branch out to new people.

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

Can you recommend any specific communities on Slack/Discord?

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