PRODUCT · HUBS

The internet,
with feet.

Hubs are small communities organised around a shared interest, neighbourhood, or activity. Most of them also gather in person — at a park, a café, a cemetery, a print review night. The phone gets you there. After that, you put it away.

What is a hub

A club, basically.

Smaller than a feed. Looser than a Discord. Closer to a Sunday walking group with a notice board.

·

Tight by default

Hubs cap themselves around fifty to a couple thousand members. When a hub gets too big, it splits — usually by neighbourhood or sub-interest.

One moment still applies

You don’t post more inside a hub. Your daily moment can be tagged to a hub if it fits, or not.

·

An organiser

Every hub has one or two real people running it. Not a brand. Not an algorithm. A person you can introduce yourself to.

A few hubs we like

Starting a hub

If there’s not one for what you’re into,
start it.

Hubs are free to create with a Moment+ subscription. Here’s how it goes.

01 · Propose
Name, location (or “Global”), a one-paragraph description, three house rules. Five minutes of typing.
02 · Review
A real person reads your proposal within two business days. Mostly checking it doesn’t overlap an existing hub and isn’t a thinly-veiled MLM.
03 · Soft launch
Open to your inner circle and a few hub-curious folks nearby. First meet-up usually within three weeks.
04 · Public
Listed in the hub directory once you’ve had a meet-up and have at least a dozen members.

It’s a club,
not a feed.

If that sounds like the kind of thing you’d enjoy, the waitlist’s open.
