My community folder is almost full on my drive.
Is there a way to add a second drive to the community folder?
This is usually a good case to invest the time to set up Add-On Linker. That way you can put your third party add-on content anywhere you want, on any number of drives, and then Add-On Linker will just put a symbolic link to that content into your Community folder, so it doesn’t actually take up any space on your main install drive.

Addon_Linker folder holds all the mods.
Community folder is for all practical purposes empty.
It’s a beautiful thing.
There are ways to span data across disks, but there are all sorts of caveats, and trying to do so after Windows is installed is not easy, and I’d not recommend it unless you have a really, really thorough understanding of Windows disk management. Depending upon you current Disk(s) / Partition(s) / Volume(s) configuration, it might require a complete re-installation of Windows.
Far simpler to use Add-On Linker as BigCow74 & BegottenPoet228 suggest.
Without add linker you can move the contents of the Community Folder to another drive. Then create a directory link from the Community folder (orignal position) to the new location.
In powershell use the new-item command.
As a typed in command use mklink /d
Look up the commands to get the correct syntax.

That’s an option.
Addon_Linker offers so much more.
