I often see these words used interchangeably, though as I understand it there is a difference between the two ideologies, no?

yes, kibbutz, amish, etc. small deeply religions communities are communist and socialist in their society and it’s governance.
these are genuinely socialist/communist ways of living. they also are religious fundamentalists.
there never has been a truly communist or socialist country. just hybrid systems with elements of them, but they tended towards autocracy and massive corruption.
It seems like all the best examples of communism/socialism happen at a small scale, and the large scale examples (USSR, China) seem to just lead to dictatorship and human rights abuses. So maybe the solution is just living in small communities? I don’t know.
