Are there any actual examples of people forming an online community and then moving somewhere to form a physical community?
Only example I can think of is bitcoin preppers moving to New Hampshire. And I’m not sure that’s a single town or that it counts since it’s kinda culty

Lots of digital nomad "hubs" seem to form this way. Chiang Mao, Saigon, Medellin, Berlin. Also, places known for tech/innovation/biz, like San Diego, SF, NYC, Austin. In many cases, a prominent figure (or many figures) relocate there, tell everyone it's great, followers follow.

The SE Asia example may work if online forums play a big role and there is some online coordination. Also, that partly works because westerners largely don’t seem to integrate much locally.
But simply moving to tech hub cities is more basic migration, not digital precipitation.

I’m familiar with that stuff. Predates internet and not what I’m talking about.
