Description

### What is this about?

## Summary

The current `README.md` file lacks a "Community Support" section with helpful links to:

- MetaMask Discord → https://discord.gg/metamask
- MetaMask Help Center → https://support.metamask.io

## Why it matters

New users looking for help may open GitHub Issues instead of using dedicated support channels, which leads to clutter in the issue tracker.

## Suggested fix

Add a "Community Support" section near the top of the README file with links to the two resources above and a short note recommending not to open Issues for general questions.

Research direction

Open README.md and review the sections near the top to choose a suitable location. Add a Community Support section with the MetaMask Discord and Help Center links and a note directing general questions away from GitHub Issues; the work is done when both links and guidance are present.
