I'd like a small group with strict/well-defined meeting times that has a coach/conversation-conductor to keep topics on track. I feel like it would work really well if advice was given/received by others with ADHD, while having a leader do stuff like

make sure 1 person doesn't dominate the conversation
keep meeting notes
call/text people who miss a meeting
follow up with people who said they were going to do something

But I've never really heard of such a system.

I've found at least two online services, but I don't really know if they're worth trying. I'm curious on your opinion and/or if any of you have tried something similar.

There's "Study Hall" which I'm not sure is what I'm really looking for https://adult-study-hall-by-adhd-rewired.mn.co/sign_up?plan_id=230880

Then this site seems to have good coaching https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37252231

Thanks I appreciate the opinion :) And I'll let you know if I end up trying them.

Also fun tip for autobill stuff: I never have to remember to cancel stuff because I always use virtual credit cards (I got a privacy.com account back when it was fully free). Just create a virtual card, add a $ limit, and after the first transaction it'll decline every charge automatically. And for things I actually do use monthly and then eventually want to cancel, it's also awesome; it's 2 clicks to cancel the card for any website.

I feel like that expensive coach would be viable if split between 5-10 people. And I would want the advice from those people as well. Alas, I don't know of a service that works like that.
