## What is Links?

You're into something nobody you know is into.

FIND PEOPLE INTO WHAT YOU'RE INTO
Links shows you people near you who share the specific thing you're into, not a generic interest category. Search by activity, hobby, or event type and see who else nearby is actually looking for the same thing.

MAKE THE PLAN YOURSELF
Start a meetup around whatever you're into. Set the time, the place, and who it's for. Links handles the logistics so you can focus on showing up.

OR JUST SHOW UP TO ONE
Browse meetups other people nearby have already planned. Join one that fits your schedule and interest, no cold messaging required.

TALK ONLY WHEN THERE'S A REASON TO
Chat opens once there's an actual plan or shared meetup, not before. Links isn't built for endless messaging with no destination.

MADE FOR ACTUALLY MEETING
Every feature points toward getting people in the same room, not keeping them scrolling.

SEPARATE SPACES FOR TEENS AND ADULTS
Links is available to people 13 and up. Teen members (13-17) and adult members (18+) are kept in fully separate communities. They never appear in each other's search results, meetups, or chats, and there is no way for a teen account and an adult account to see or contact one another anywhere in the app.

Links isn't a dating app and it isn't another feed.
