I can speak for the Debian User Forums which are officially part of Debian
and have been for quite some time now.
Unfortunately the topic overall concerning user community can be
deceptively under simplified. There are multiple user Forums, Reddits,
Discords, IRC and Telegram channels, ... et al., large communities that
focus solely on Debian.
One need to only find the best avenue for their needs, desired support and
technical level. There really are no user lockouts or unsupported areas
surrounding Debian. Generally as a community we are very welcoming even on
the un-official areas where users congregate.
Be well,
-Donald
