Huddle: Social Fandom Network

I wanted to like this app, but it had no moderation and seemingly no updates. I understand the main developer was injured, but surely there must be a team? It doesn’t really feel like it. I hope everyone is okay. Also, there is no option for light mode. And no mutuals posting even though these should have been the first things implemented in the design. These features are always popularly demanded. One more thing is that you can’t change your profile photo until an unpredictable amount of time. For some it’s 3 days for some it’s more than a week.. based on an undefined number of likes/thanks you give or receive. I’m not sure why the team couldn’t just put this on an exact number of days to gain access to a profile photo instead of users guessing. It discourages people from staying when they don’t have individuality.

its pretty good as a mental health app, im still figuring out the UI as a former vent user. there are some glaringly obvious bugs and features that really need implemented, but it’s early in development and the mods are very perceptive to suggestions/bug reports, so i think the app has a good future ahead of it in this regard. the community is very small right now and i wish it was bigger, especially since you see the same accounts on the hot/new tab when the app loads. stuff can reach the hot tab with only ~15 interactions sometimes, so it could be a conversation chain suddenly everyone sees. tell more people to join so this stops happening xDDD theres a 2k character limit for posts and you can upload images, you can also upload journal posts which are mutual only, otherwise i dont think there are private options. the biggest issues with the app for me right now on ios are that you cant copy text or save images from posts, and theres no customizing notification types in your phone settings. theres also a weird limitation that you have to “spread positivity” in order to earn rights to upload a profile picture/cover photo, which usually takes around 3 days, and requires commenting on other users’ posts. im not sure if the purpose is to encourage user interaction or slow down new troll accounts with innappropriate avatars, but i wish it was implemented in a different way! a lot of people might want to just use a mental health app as a diary and i feel this might dissuade them if they cant upload a unique avatar.

Just as titled, its very helpful and cozy! If you’re struggling with mental health, disorders, ETC, I recommend reaching out to this app. Even if you don’t have anything that i listed (etc), the community is very cozy and exciting. You can post comments online whether it’s a comment on someone’s post or a post of your own. It’s kinda like twitter / other social medias but just a better community in general. (No figure of hate to the twitter community, I mean this in general.) While the app is still developing, i can’t imagine what’s next.
