According to Wikipedia , Community is a small or large social unit (a group of people) who have something in common, such as Norm  (social)|norms]],  religion, values, or identity.    

 Some advantages :

1. Knowledge: The chance to learn from one another and thus share information.
2. Connections: through prudent networking, you will improve your chance to success and meet more like-minded people.
3. Inspiration: The diversity of opinion, ideas and knowledge that you will never encounter alone-  example,  solution to a problem.
4. Resources: It is impossible to know and do everything yourself (no matter how smart you maybe) therefore community will help you find people with skills that are needed to help you succeed.
5. Support: Being able to have a community to rely on in time of distress is very helpful-especially if you join the right one.
