Discord is basically the modern version of IRC. As for finding things here, it might be a matter of having to be the leader rather than the finder, at least at first.
I also took a break from fandom, but my break was 2007 to 2013 or so. I had to learn AO3 and tumblr, but it wasn't as big a jump as I'm sure you're experiencing now! at least back then, tumblr was a really active fandom space and I had a solid community in no time
