Welcome to all folks, in today's fast-paced and increasingly digital world, it's easy to lose touch with the people and places that surround us. To overcome this issue there are communities which you are not aware of. Also, you may not know the real benefits of being engaged in communities irrespective of global or local. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of local and global communities, as well as provide a basic outline to help you take the first steps toward joining a thriving community that matches your interest.

🤔The question is "Why?"

One of the questions that may arise in your mind is "Why? Why should I join communities and what benefits will it provide me?"

Joining communities doesn't mean joining digital groups(WhatsApp, Twitter, Showcase, Discord, etc). It's about being engaged with the people of the community. Being engaged in the community will improve your communication as well as programming skills. Connecting with global communities also broadens your network by providing insights into different cultures, perspectives, and ways of life. This can help you in finding the right opportunities which will enrich your personal as well as professional growth.

Additionally, if you are someone that shares an interest same to that of the community, you can significantly improve your skills in that field. As a result, you tend to find someone you can collaborate with on a project or connect with.

Moreover being active in the community offers emotional support and encouragement. As human beings, we all need to feel connected and valued. By sharing your challenges, successes, and stories with like-minded individuals, you can create a strong support system that fosters personal growth and well-being. Furthermore, community members are a great resource for offering guidance and suggestions, letting you know what's working and what's not, so you can grow and achieve your target.

🤥How to Find Communities?

After knowing the importance and benefits of joining global as well as local communities. A question might arise how to join communities, how can I find one, etc? Don't worry we will be discussing everything here.

Talking about communities if you are new to the tech field or just getting started then you might not have joined any communities before, I would say create a Twitter account today(if you don't have one), if you already have then start following people that match your niche. For example, I'm into DevOps, Open Source, Cloud, Golang, etc. We've got Kunal Kuswaha, Pradumna Saraf, Eddie Jaoude, who are doing great stuff. If you do some research on Twitter and Google, then you will be able to find people who are already doing well in your niche and you can emulate them.

If you want a more easy way to connect with communities then head over to Showwcase, which is an amazing platform built for developers. It is a place where developers hang out and find new opportunities. You can find here varieties of communities ranging from HTML to Machine Learning as well meme sharing community-related to programming and coding. You can also find communities of your own country or locality here.

Above you could see there are several communities(eg. introductions, 100 days of code, web devs, etc.) that you might consider joining. Do join Twitter and follow the folks in your targeted niche which will help you in finding more such communities.

Conclusion

In conclusion, engaging in both global and local communities is essential for personal and professional growth. It not only helps you build networks and learn new skills but also provides emotional support and a sense of belonging. Additionally, let's not forget that joining communities is about more than personal growth; it's about uplifting and supporting our fellow members on their journeys.
