An online community means a network community in the broadest sense. It is a community of people who meet on the Internet and discuss a wide variety of topics. Often there are also social networks that serve as a platform for exchanging opinions, experiences and adventures. More and more often, you can also find large companies that want to make their products better known in the communities.
The first online community is said to have been created before 1985, when a debating club called ?The Well? was launched by two men in San Francisco. Some mailing lists can also be regarded as online communities. However, the network of that time cannot be compared with today's communities, as the Internet was still very small and almost elitist back then. Online communities such as here at onreef.com offer their members a unique opportunity: there, people who are interested in the same thing can exchange ideas with people who may not even live on the same continent or cannot meet in person due to other circumstances. Particularly shy people who shy away from contact with others can exchange ideas with other people in an online community. Thanks to the growth of the Internet, there is now an online community for all groups of people. Whether for students, musicians, parents or singles - everyone can find people with similar interests in an online community. For singles in particular, there is a multitude of communities that they can join. Many also register with several to increase their chances of making contact. In Germany, several million singles are already active in these communities.
