Description:
unnecessary space below join the community section.
and the containers of forum and discord are too small for the section which makes the UI a bit ugly.

Expected Behavior:
There should be no extra space and the containers[links] should be a little big and also they should have a hover effect to it's secondary color

Steps to Reproduce:

1. go to https://www.djangoproject.com/
2. scroll down to "join the community" section

Suggested Solution:

1. remove the extra space
2. add a hover effect to links
3. could also add a few more links if necessary

@SrisailamKakurala Are you saying that it's a problem that the sidebar content is adding vertical space to the layout more than the main content?

[SrisailamKakurala]

@adamzap The side bar spacing is perfect but in the main layout i.e. below join the community section ... There's an additional vertical space which is occupied by a svg declaration.... Which is not being rendered there... So I changed its display to none ... Resulting in the elimination of space it took .... (See the code changes in #1843)

The svg is just a declaration for the theme icons that are used in the navbar.
So we can just hide it to eliminate space.
And also I added a hover effect to the links to join the community section.
