Mailing Lists
There are several mailing lists serving the Inkscape user community. In addition to English, there are also Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese. And there are more lists which Inkscape users might be interested in joining, such as tester, translator, or other. Those can be found on this page.
Chat
The Inkscape project has 2 different interfaces for chat. They are joined, so that no matter which one you choose to use, you can see and participate in the discussions for both, in real time. One is the more traditional #inkscape IRC channel on freenode (irc://irc.freenode.org/#inkscape) for which of course you need an IRC client. There is one for development discussions and one for user support.
And the other is a RocketChat interface: https://chat.inkscape.org/ It has several channels, including development and user support. The nice thing about the RocketChat, is that the discussions are persistent, so that you can read discussions which have already happened, even though you might not have been logged on when they happened.
Galleries
Our own Gallery features artists who use Inkscape to create compelling and distinctive art. There are also many other Exhibitions of Inkscape Work Around the Internet.
Development Discussion
Traditionally developers communicate on the inkscape-devel mailing list. It's considered the official communication channel. There are more lists which developers might be interested in joining, such as tester, cvs, or other. You can find those listed on this page.
Developers can chat live via either IRC or RocketChat
There is much discussion around specific issues, in specific accounts and sub-accounts of the Inkscape GitLab site.
While it's not strictly for discussion, developers also communicate in the Inkscape Wiki.
