I know the feeling, finding others like you is a big thing, it was for me too. Facing your stuttering and working with it, with/through others can be quite emotional, but as you said at the end its just liberating. Stay on this road, find others wherever you can, it helps a lot! As for communities, there is a [Discord server too](https://discord.com/invite/stutter). I can also really recommend to [look up the International Stuttering Association (ISA) member organisation for you country](https://www.isastutter.org/who-we-are/member-associations) and ask them about the nearest stuttering support group for you. There you can meet others like you in person, I can really recommend this for everybody. If you seek further stories, I can really recommend some stuttering documentaries. I can especially recommend [My Beautiful Stutter](https://www.say.org/mybeautifulstutter/), it had such a great impact on me (and made me cry :D). I can also recommend [When I Stutter](https://keeneyeproductions.com/store/streaming/), also a very good documentary. Further documentaries I've watched include [The Way We Talk](https://vimeo.com/ondemand/thewaywetalk/168543367) and [STUTTERING - My Constant Companion (German, with subtitles)](https://vimeo.com/ondemand/stutteringfilm/227387621).
