online community
Internet social group
An online community is a group of people who interact regularly through the internet around shared interests, goals, or identities.
Members connect through forums, social media, gaming platforms, or other digital spaces: The knitting online community helped me troubleshoot my first sweater.
Unlike physical communities, these groups transcend geography, allowing connection across continents.
