Shameless plug, I'm trying to build an app to hopefully help with this. A platform for platonic friend making based on shared interests. I find that it's very hard to meet and connect with like minded people regardless of where you live.

- weavie 5y agoThis could do with a sign up so I can get a reminder when it launches. I am guaranteed to forget about it by then otherwise.
- asdev 5y agodo you think email sign up would be preferrable? I was thinking it's better to get people to follow the Instagram account so I can reach them when I launch
- weavie 5y agoPersonally, I will never use Instagram.
- dannyw 5y agoPlatforms like Instagram don't give you organic reach to all followers.
- mkr-hn 5y agoThat severely cuts the potential audience. I don't use Instagram. It doesn't even provide RSS feeds as an alternative.
- lancesells 5y agoI would recommend putting a large amount of effort into email. Email is the channel you own forever. Your Instagram followers are subject to Facebooks whims and they are not a company to be trusted.
- astura 5y agoYou should do both.
- Xevi 5y agoNice. I understand what you're trying to say with that title on your website, but I kind of disagree. Just because you have online friends doesn't mean that they're not "real" friends.
- asdev 5y agoin my opinion, having friends that you can meet up with and hang out in person >>>>>>> online friends. it's a night and day difference. you can still feel lonely if you talk to a bunch of people online but don't meet anyone face to face. but to each their own.
- Xevi 5y agoYes, that's absolutely true. At the same time I've had some really strong friendships online. It's easier to find people who you really click with.
