Most of the forums I know are completely dead, killed by Reddit or Discord. But I know of some programming forums that are still active, they are dedicated to specific programming languages like Python or Rust. That’s what I mean by thematic. You can discuss a wide range of topics, but the primary focus is on a specific subject. These are the ones I’ve used:
