Yes, my favourite programming project is a tetris clone my family and one or two friends have played.
The community you share with doesn't need to be online - your croissants aren't going out for delivery but I'm sure your friends and family appreciate them (and you). It can be the same with your software products, if you choose.
While this is very much true, in many countries it may be different. I'll speak for India. I'm a singled out geek, most of my friends have interest in many things but software. I can yap about movies, songs, architecture, etc. but start about software and they say "hey, let's not talk shop". To them it's boring work.
