When I was playing Diablo 3, I sometimes played duo with guys I just had discovered, only in order to help them understand something specific.
Show my build, explain it, explain the “DOs” and the “DON’Ts”, show the differences between settings or items, show several tricks on specific areas, etc. And some guys already did the same for me.
My perception of a good online community experience is when people are helpful. Not specifically this way, but also by sharing quick information, small tricks that sometimes are game changer, etc. When we all are here to do the same thing together, even if each one on their side. 
And of course, never forget the basics: be polite, accept that other people may think different, and let them do so.
These days I am very cynical when it comes to POE 
There are some ways how devs can support with building a community.
Important - like other said - moderation. Report function.
Different chat channels like
- General
- Help
- maybe class specific
- Guild (when it gets implemented)
…
So you can mute/select channels you want to participate.
There should be emotes. A good matchmaking function for multiplayer.
Then outside the game what @Revelasti said: Content creators. Nowadays creators have Discord channels you can interact with them and other followers, team up and talk on voice channels.
This is a great way to find like minded people and also its moderated in most cases.
We created a German LE Community Discord and currently have 209 members. We also invited some Content Creators that joined the community. They can promote their content and also bring new members with them. It’s not too lively, but theres a bunch of people that talk together very regularly.
Recently 2 of our streamers started hosting community events (rolling class and a main skill and then race for highest arena wave within a certain amount of time) like other Streamers already do.
I expect these communities to grow with multiplayer. Personally I already found a bunch of nice people I’m looking forward to play with.
Imho it’s not possible to have one big nice game community. This will never work. But there will be - and already are - communities built around streamers, guilds/gaming clans. These will moderate themselves and attract like minded people.
No game studio can force this. They only can provide support for these groups like sponsoring fan made events and provide interfaces for community communication. Every game lives from passionate fans that hold things together and also advertise the game if they are satisfied.
