Discord servers are kinda on the same level as wikis for me, as not all mods have a wiki at all or only have one for an outdated version, or only have one that's incomplete/vague and doesn't have the info I'm looking for. People like to show off their stuff, they like to talk about it, and they like asking/answering questions.
For bug-stuff, most mods have a Git repository and bugtracker so I'll go there first. Sometimes, particularly in the case of when mods are first arriving to a new minecraft version, the curseforge comments section can be helpful in determining if a bug is really a bug (and if it's been fixed or not) or I'm just unlucky/doing stuff wrongly.
Some things are either simple to test yourself or are so way off in the weeds that nobody's ever thought to check it out. For example, waterlogged blocks can become infinite springs but the water you pull from a waterlogged-block infinite spring cannot be put back into the infinite spring the way you can with an old-fashioned water-source infinite spring.

WOW! I just learned a thing! I have never thought of using discord servers. That's a good one!
So you're playing and suddenly you need information about something you don't know. What do you do?
1st i craft coffee.
Then i open google.
If i can't seem to find any answer, i create a thread in this forum.
My projects:
-are abandoned for now. I might pick 'em up in the future.
For now i'm working on a private modpack that suit's my own playstyle.
I am gonna stay in modded 1.12.2 untill my potato dies. No mercy! :Q
Coffe is important. Indeed.
I usually go to the wiki, but lately I've being exploring other places, so I'm curious to know what people uses.

The Wiki first.
Obscure things or things I don't know the name of, usually just concepts, I Google.
Then ask here in the forums. Or search the forums first, but the search function is crap so that usually doesn't give useful results.
Just testing.

Yeah, I know the feeling re: the search function. I'm a little bit disappointed about it, I hope I could help to make it better.
