The fediverse and niche socials are nice options to have after the en💩ification of the others, but then I go to the app folder to share a photo and.....WTAF there's like 12 different apps to post to, all with different quirks. 😱

Here to say Hey.Café, the new, #Canadian social network that is privacy focused, ad free, and a safe space to share, is pretty good! The team of volunteers who have built it are based in BC. They are incredibly responsive to new members requests for support and have instituted a ton of updates. They are also planning to federate and join the fediverse! It's web-based, already has an app for iPhone, and an Android app is rolling out in the next week or so.

If you join please say "HyL invited me" so I can welcome and follow you.

So there's a new Canadian alternative to Farcebook, and it looks promising enough that I'm on it now. Drop by if you're around... #hey.cafe hey.cafe/@tcfolkpunk

Day 2 of trying Hey.Café:

I joined a Birders cafe, a Book Lovers café, resisted the Crochet café but did join a Knitting café, and one dedicated to hiking. I joined several cafés dedicated to various Canadian provinces, and I created one for bikes and bikeology. I've seen amazing birding photos, some lovely knitting, learned about Canadian authors I'd never heard of. I created a profile, loaded pictures, and set up tags. All in one day. It was a snap!

I've even had the quintessential Canadian experience: "you're from Winnipeg? Do you know my friend ___? You do?! Say hi for me!" 💕

*It's days like this that make you love being Canadian*.

Where is everything hosted / Hey.Café

We don’t store any data on US providers. So we wanted to share where we store everything. If it’s not in Canada or in our Penticton BC office server racks (yes we have our own servers also) it’s in the EU or security and privacy focused countries.

Hey.Café is still wicked small (https://stats.hey.cafe), but I'm starting to see some of my friends show up.

I struggle with trying to find a way to get users to join. I am not a marketing person at all. I did update the splash website to say we are Canadian but not sure what to do overall. #heycafe https://hey.cafe/conversation/0k9lmnf0lpwk2dx/i-struggle-with-trying-to-find-a-way-to-get-users-to-join-i-am-not-a
