We build products for remote workers at my company[0], and we talk to a lot of remote workers to get their feedback. It's true that loneliness is a big problem that is mentioned by almost everyone we talk to.
We wanted to find a way to solve this so we started hosting "Work Clubs" which are essentially small meetup groups at coffee shops during the workday. We gather 3-4 people at the same table and work for 3-4 hours. It's a great way to get out of the house, meet other people and chat for a bit, but also get your work done during the day. We're seeing a lot of repeat users coming back and it's growing into a nice community of remote workers. Friendships and professional connections are made every week.
Right now we're hosting work clubs in the SF Bay Area, Portland, and San Diego. We're adding new work clubs daily or you can even host your own Work Club if you'd like. We'll be expanding to other cities soon so if you're a remote worker I'd encourage you to check it out and come work with us!
