cetera - social for everything

I love this app - it reminds me of the internet before it went to... heck. It's free from the predatory algorithmic behavior of every other social media app, like the glory days of the internet where we were able to form meaningful connections with people rather than simply trying to force an algorithm to promote your posts. I hope they're doing enough to promote it because a lot of people could enjoy being here, if only they knew about it!

This app is… Genuinely amazing. The community is kind, the features are amazing, and the people behind it care so, so much and are so fun and sweet. There are multiple posting privacy options: public, which is… well, public and puts it on the public feed for all to see; friends, which is visible for users that you have as a “friend”; close friends—visible only to users you have tapped the “star” by on their profile; and only me, which, as you can guess, is only me. Currently, there are two feeds for viewing—“friends” and the “for you” feed. The “for you” feed is just the most recent posts, though—friends and close friends will be shown here, as well, in chronological order. There are also really cool features for posting, such as adding the time and weather to your post as a widget, adding music (sadly, you do have to Shazam the song so you’ll have to play it out loud), adding the title and image of movie/tv shows from a database, the “secret” function which allows you to “hide” the contents of a post after typing a small brief title (this is amazing for surprise images of cats, jokes and puns, content warnings, long rambling posts, and so much more!) I like the private reply to posts, as well—I like this a lot, actually. Public comments are in the works, I believe, as well, and a proper notifications tab. The folks behind it genuinely care, and are receptive. Overall? I’m so happy to be here. Thank you for all of your hard work!

absolutely obsessed with this app! it’s very polished and easy to figure out. Posting has a lot of unique features like posting the weather, movies, shows, and you can even change the layout that your photos are displayed in! it has a comfy vibe to it that reminds me of myspace and it makes me so happy. everyone on the app is friendly too! I highly recommend this app for friends or anyone who wants a fun little social space online :)
