Congrats on the PH launch @mattprd and Hamster Pad team! The center of a modern community will be a chatroom like Slack. I organized an Intermittent Fasting / Biohacking group called WeFast (https://wefa.st) at the start of the year, and it just made sense to host it primarily on Slack - lightweight, but synchronous; conversational and collaborative.
