  Hi there. I’m afraid there’s no forum plugin or widget on WordPress.com.

  The closest you can get is to use the P2 theme. https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/search/p2/

  Depending on what you want to do, setting up a forum with dedicated forum software like bbPress (http://bbpress.org/) and then adding a link to the forum on your site in a text widget or custom menu.
