Unfortunately Gitter was another proprietary solution with a side-effect of fragmenting the community.
I provided a summary on the problem with proprietary stuff here.
Depending on preferred communication style, the best places right now are:
-
synchronous (semi-realtime, chat-like): the
#ipfschannel on Freenode IRC Network
(If you don’t know how to start, use this IRC client) - asynchronous (email-like) community discussions: this forum (https://discuss.ipfs.tech)
