South African app Sociable aims to shake up social media
Cape Town-based social media platform Sociable combines online activity with in-person meetups. The Sociable feed makes it easier than ever to find everything happening around you in real time. No more outdated articles, just real experiences.
So this app is not your general status posting app from what I can see.
Users can choose from categories such as Party, Sport, Food, Adventure, or Lifestyle to create an event based on a location, which others can subscribe to or follow. An event has a description, FAQ, a capacity, etc to get more information, and users can also indicate if they will attend.
The aim seems to be to create a safer environment without AI driven bot posts etc. I suppose it is also a great way to meet up in person with like-minded people to enjoy a common interest. Certainly for Cape Town I see organised walks, hikes, runs, pottery classes, and more, some of which are intended just for women.
Interestingly, it also makes provision for paid events with tickets, and even private events that can only be accessed with a unique pin code.
There are mobile apps for iOS and Android available.
