group
Gruppe and Community can both refer online to several people with shared interests. Gruppe is more likely to mean a defined group of people or a specific area on a platform, while Community places more emphasis on the social network and interaction. Use Gruppe for a clearly limited online area, and Community for the broader interaction among its members.
