there’s only a very small fraction of communes that actually work and they need very specific people. There’s one I can think of that sells beaded hammocks or something that has actually been successful long term. But who knows that might just be because of a few central figures holding everything together.

it’s more reasonable to reconstruct an old timey village vibe or a family/clan focused community.

personally a commune sounds like my own personal hell. I like privacy and people minding their own business. I wouldn’t mind being surrounded by my close friends though. even then I would probably kill them after half a year if I had to see them every day.
