Well written article Emma. The importance of joining communities cannot be overstated.

The EddieHub community has been very helpful to me as well.

Super article [Emma Wain](https://hashnode.com/@Ewainy) this really hit deep! I agree with everything you just said. It's so important to engage with other people and join communities more so if you are a remote worker. Tech Twitter, Discord and all of these blog websites like Hashnode are essential tools that every developer should be using.

When I first started remote working I never felt that lonely because I was already a part of these communities so I knew that I could reach out to anyone and it could really make my day.

And I am so happy to have joined EddieHub I can't wait to engage more on there 😁

Andrew, you are so right. These communities really make a difference. Thank you also for being the first friend I made on tech Twitter too!! :)
