Fun and Fresh
An enjoyable Canadian social media experience. The devs are working hard, and any glitches or bugs are efficiently dealt with.
The community is wonderful, and the main feed is free of grifters or rage bait. There's writers and artists and musicians all sharing their work, and there's daily games like #HashtagWars and #Honkfic. Love this place!

Nope for non-Canadians
1) Codes delayed so that when you try to sign up for an account, by the time you get the code it's already expired. 2) When I wasn't getting the codes by email I tried my phone number (which I just don't do); now getting 10 spam calls an hour. 3) Finally got an account; if you're non-Canadian you, can't get verified to post anything or comment. I sent an email to the address that pops up on the website; they wrote back and said "you need to contact this email at our organization" – instead of just forwarding it for me. And when I sent an email to that other email address, it bounced back as undeliverable. I signed up because I saw a post about meta-alternatives. Do what Carney would do and just say no! [to this app]. Not good.

Code
Code came - hours later, then it wanted government ID scanned. I don’t think so
Not a clue
Not a clue here what to do. Where can I get help?
US propaGander on the “Canadian” social media site?
Using “Media Bias Fact Check” to classify the political leanings of news links. It’s a very rightward skewed, US-focused scale. So much for a Canada-first social platform. We don’t need to take any political influence from the tinpot dictatorship to the south.
Perfect social app to enjoy
I’ve enjoyed Gander since its start and love the community and its content. Often funny, meaningful, current, and like my friendly neighbourhood on my walk to the coffee shop for a cup and some conversation. Thanks Gander!
It’s Canadian Eh!
Like Canada it needs some improvement, but non toxic and friendly at least until foreign interference happens.
Breath of fresh air
I feel so lucky to have found this community. Affirmingly Canadian. Thanks Gander!
Like it so far!
Great community. Would love to be able to edit posts!
From Beta to Early Days
This is a very cool, human-centric, virtual space. It’s been awesome being a part of the evolution.
Blank screen
Can’t access, can’t contact anyone.
Overall great app
I like the app but still issues being able to see different feeds . This does work on the web version so I use the web version on my IPhone.
A nice change
I am really enjoying this app. It is a refreshing change from Facebook and similar social platforms.
All-🇨🇦 social media
Great convos without the rage-bait; meeting fellow Canadians from all over; fun, serious, informative, new products, #HashtagWars & Tod Maffin! What more do you need?
Not easy to join
I don’t seem to be acceptable to them. I’m waiting to hear from Canada Post; have been waiting a day. Have lived at my address for over 20 years so don’t know the issue and no one from Gander has gotten back to me so…not impressed at all.
Canadian content
Love this app. Still has the occasional glitch as it’s still reasonably new but developers are immediately responsive and fixes are quick. Enjoying the Canadian content and calm, relaxed atmosphere. It’s like dropping into your local coffee shop, meeting friends and making new ones. Refreshingly different from the usual social media.

What happens when you get a bunch of Canadians on social media in one place?
It’s so pleasant! The conversations are polite and caring. It’s a diverse bunch of people talking about things, but in a considerate and thoughtful way. It really emphasizes to me how toxic other platforms are. Also, I love the absence of slop and clickbait. You can share news articles here! The developers are building the platform as they go, and I look forward to the new features they’ll be adding, but what they’ve built so far is worth using. Loving this growing community.

Five Stars
New but responsive to any glitches that rear their ugly heads. All Canadian for now. Interactive users. No bot accounts.
Canada is here
Gander unites provinces and territories in a friendly conversation + word games.
Gander unies provinces et territoires dans une conversation amiable + jeux de mots.

Fabulous Alternative
It’s taking me a bit of time to make the adjustment, but let’s be honest, getting rid of bad habits could be a bit of work! I’m using American media platforms less often and have noticed a difference in my mental health. Making new friends, finding lots of positive energy!
