I like what hackr.io is doing:

https://hackr.io/tutorials/learn-scheme

Where you can up vote a tutorial. (I've added mine but it's not yet
public).

Maybe create user generated content with comments about particular
introduction or a book.

For comments and reactions you can use GitHub discussions on one of the
repositories:

https://giscus.app/

This is an project that allow to do this. Unless you want something written
in Scheme from scratch. It may require a lot of effort.
