Question

I'm looking for a CMS which is

fast and lightweight (probably enriched with ajax)
easy to code, extend and maintain (maybe built on a framework such as Laravel). I am a pure php programmer but would like to learn a good framework which make things easier

some functionalities are (I want it for university associations)

Multi user, multi communities support (like different blogs on subdomains)

Ability to join comunities, post on each of them
Asking questions, posting contents, scoring answers (maybe something similar StackOverFlow)
As my language is Persian, easy to internationalize

I myself found PyroCMS, however its based on CodeIgnitor while I wish it based on Laravel. PongoCMS is based on Laravel but I'm afraid its not as powerful as Pyro

Do popular CMSs like Joomla or Wordpress have significant advantages which I may lose using a CMS based on a framework?

Actually what are top and promising nowadays CMSs?

Explanation / Answer

To answer this part of your question:

Do popular CMSs like Joomla or Wordpress have significant advantages which I may lose using a CMS based on a framework?

Wordpress is very popular CMS, so it's very easy to find a support when you have a problem. You can propably find someone who know it in your acquaintances. Wordpress is regulary updated, and innovations are often added.

Because it's very popular, a large amount of plugins exist and are regulary updated. For instance I've already tried the antispam one's (Askimet implementation for Wp), and it is very powerful.

Here the advantage I see for popular CMS, but if you like low level CMS, the Wordpress core is easily accessible, and well documented (if I compare with my very quick Jomla experience). This backend part could be considered a framework. And then you can implement by your self the functionnality you need (Update the content with Ajax, custom caching...) while using powerful Wp functionnality (hooks, ORM, feeding already available, ...)
