Idk, if this is the main thing you're looking for, it can be tricky. I'm into this for like 9 months, I can tell it feels like there is no unified 3dcg community. There are 3d-adjacent communities in various fields, like older games modding/mapping communities, some anime-related communities like mmd or koikatsu, but general 3dcg doesn't really have anything like this, it's too broad. Blender discord/subreddit is mostly random noobs asking basic bitch questions, it doesn't feel like there is some unity in there. Coming from programming, there you have active comunities centered around specific programming languages, like Rust or Haskall or whatever. There is nonstop dedicated discussion about specifics of language, upcoming features, best ways to do shit, etc. In 3dcg, communities centered around specific software don't feel the same. This whole board is more dead than a single "daily programming thread" in /g/ for example. 3dcg is very fun field on its own, I enjoy it way more than programming, but it's probably not the best choice in terms of community and making new friends. For that, you'd better look for something more specific, aimed at particular fandom or anime specific shit like mmd/koikatsu.
