Almost everyone on my team joined after we went full remote - one thing that has helped a lot is 4 hours of "mob" pair programming per week. Basically a time where anyone who has something interesting to talk about, or a problem they are stuck on can share their screen and get input/help from the whole team.

It has really helped getting people comfortable with each other, as well as being a shockingly effective way to solve tricky problems and get new people up to speed.

Why only 4 hours? I'm sure you're working on interesting or hard problems more than 10% of the time
