There are the mailing lists:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL

The forums, recently revamped, have become more active:
https://forums.FreeBSD.org/

There is also a newsgroup, comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc
The previous two are much more active.

There are also numerous channels on IRC.
