I just got an email inviting me to join a new dev community. They said that they had seen my posts on dev.to, and thought I would be a good fit. I don't want to go into too much detail, but they did send it to my personal email, which I have never revealed publicly. Did anyone else get this?

It is horrible to hear this, I've checked that you didn't release any personal email in your DEV, GitHub, and your website. I wondered how they make a combination of your DEV account and your email address. In this situation, I suggest you'd better not reply to the invitation.
Oh yes I know its a scam.
I got a similar email to the one that you're describing, did the one you got look like this:
Mine was from Marco at coderslegion
Mine was from ross. HOWEVER mine was from coderlegions (s at the end.)
coderlegions.com is a GoDaddy Parked domain, but that is word for word what mine said.
Ok, now I'm EVEN MORE confused (if that was even possible) because the actual programmers network was coderlegion???
Okay so let me break it down:
s.com is the scam I got sentslegion.com is the scam you got sent.The scammers are putting "s" in places to impersonate the real address.
Does this make sense? (please tell me it does...)
Yes, I'm contacting coderlegion rn to tell them.
Smart. Let me know what you find! :)
Nope! But I am curious what the community is 🙂
