There's Gamasutra (now renamed to GameDeveloper), there's 80lvl, Twitter - a lot of game devs are just active on twitter, so if you follow a few that intersect your interests you can build up a bubble around that. Discords are great as well, especially for local level communities. Look at GameJams going on online and around you?
There is really no central meeting point that is a constant (except maybe GDC itself). From my experience as organising game developer meetups it is really hard to get devs to talk - BUT when they do its a great experience for all!
