For actually speaking Latin (or Ancient Greek), I would recommend Latin & Ancient Greek Chat. The chats are hosted by a magister, and the group is very welcoming. Be advised, though, that unless you have already engaged in some Latin conversation, you may find it difficult the first times you take part, not due to the community there being negative in any way, but simply because you will (as I did) realise very quickly how poor your oral proficiency is. I highly recommend keeping something like Whitaker’s Words open in one of your tabs. Here is their schedule:

I should also add that all variants of Latin are welcome; personally, I have heard Classical Latin with American accent, Ecclesiastical Latin with a Spanish accent, my own attempts of Classical Latin with a Norwegian accent, and there will of course be many more.
