Can an online community make us feel less lonely? The answer is yes—but it depends on how we use it.

Loneliness is a serious global problem. In 2025, the World Health Organization reported that about one in six people worldwide experiences loneliness. Young people are among the groups most affected. Loneliness is not simply being alone. It is the painful feeling that our social relationships are not as strong as we want them to be. (who.int)

Online communities can help people find others with the same interests or experiences. For example, someone who loves a rare hobby may not know anyone nearby who shares it. However, that person can join an online group, exchange ideas, and make friends. Online communities can also offer useful information and emotional support. This may be especially valuable for people who have health problems, live far from their family, or find face-to-face communication difficult. (nature.com)

However, simply spending more time online does not always reduce loneliness. A 2025 Japanese study examined 1,900 people aged 40 to 79 who lived alone. Online communication with family and friends from other generations was connected with lower loneliness and better mental health. In contrast, communication with people they had never met was connected with greater loneliness. (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)

Online spaces can also include bullying, angry messages, and false information. In addition, endless scrolling may take time away from sleep, exercise, and real-world relationships. WHO therefore warns about too much screen time and negative online experiences. (who.int)

The quality of communication may be more important than the number of messages. A healthy online community should make members feel safe, heard, and valued. It may work best when it supports real relationships instead of replacing them. If we talk honestly, help other members, and sometimes meet people offline safely, online communities can become a useful bridge to stronger human connection.
