How important is community and networking for remote professionals?

Community is so crucial when working remotely. Being able to connect easily with others in similar roles keeps me motivated every day. How do you all stay plugged in professionally from afar? Curious to hear what tactics others have found most helpful. For me, casual coffee breaks at a co-working space or cafe/ or hopping on discussion boards have done the trick.
