I'm in numerous Discord groups, Neetcode is solid group and a good cheap/free way to practice in general!
Some things to watch out for with Discord groups:
1. There are a lot that are "secretly" run by a company of some kind. So while they appear to be useful groups, they are trying to recruit people to use the company's paid products.
2. There are a lot of groups that look great, and seem active, but they die off and end up like ghost towns. It's unfortunately hards to have a completely free group that is dedicated long term to learning and practicing DS&A as it's a skill people tend to learn short term for interviews.
Some products I think are pretty good are: Neetcode, Structy, good old Leetcode
BIAS DISCLOSURE: I co-founded a very expensive paid program that gets people to a top tier DS&A bar, so I'm a bit bias in this space.
