COMUNIDAD is really a rendering of e-group a la hispana
and when you think about it, it has a more human quality. In the case of a website, it would be more technically correct to use WEBSITE.

first Hispanic computer-based leisure (or cyberloafing) community
Hi.
I'm not sure the kind of website you are talking about, but in case it is a MUD (multi-user domain or dungeon), the word is community.
Also, I think leisure is right, but depending on a hundred things maybe you could also use cyberloafing (but of course it has a negative connotation).
The site below uses some of this vocabulary (computer-based leisure activities, communities, etc.), plus some info on MUDs.

Thanks! It's usually applied to employees surfing the web during work hours, but it may work here too.

The First Hispanic Freetime Site
I don't really think community requires translating in a marketing sense.
Leisure is correct but do we know of any Leisure sites in English? Freetime is often used.
