Those communities iirc nowadays operate a dual mediawiki + discord server. Dustloop (arcsys, Guilty Gear & BlazBlue mostly) for example didn't vanish entirely to Discord, the discord is instead just used to organize edits to the wiki if I recall.
Discord is absolutely terrible at storing semi-structured information like a wikipage and I don't see them fix that without completely overhauling their entire service (although I'm sure they'll try and muck up the death of publicly available knowledge even more).
GP mentions "lore", that has not been deliberately condensed to a wiki. A forum works much better for lore : to search and reply years later to some very specific question / answer.
(I guess wiki comments and especially talk pages can work too, but they are terrible and not the place for community discussion.)
