I know it can seem silly, but asking people to have lunch via video chat is a great way to get around some of that distance.

Honestly this is just leadership dropping the ball for you and the rest of the team (though it can be easy to miss since it’s sort of a hidden problem). They should put more remote team things together like group learning sessions or just having coffee for 30 minutes to chat. It’s not hard to get on a calendar and although work required socialization is usually eye-roll worthy it does help.
