Community is described in two ways. The first

synonymous with the concept of an ancient
settlement, whether a hamlet, village, town, or city.
The second meaning is similar to the usage of the
term in other social sciences: a community is a group
of people living near one another who interact
socially.

What is virtual community?
Are you a member of a virtual
community?
A virtual community is a community of people
sharing common interests, ideas, and feelings over the
Internet or other collaborative networks. It is a social
network of individuals who interact through specific
social media, potentially crossing geographical and
political boundaries in order to pursue mutual interests
or goals. Some of the most pervasive virtual
communities are online communities operating under
social networking services. People create and establish
VCs online to provide a forum by which individuals can
share information regardless of the subject matter
