I think the same might work with online forums. E.g. an interesting way to motivate oneself to learn programming might be to spend a lot of time hanging out on the IRC channels for the tools you want to learn.
I’ve seen exactly one, and it’s a private channel for the editorial staff of a blog that curates My Little Pony fanfiction. (Yes, this is actually a thing.)

Anecdotally, this seems to work. I’ve become a much better writer while spending a lot of time in a writers’ irc channel.
Could you name some actual writer’s IRC channels? I’ve never seen any.
