There are no recommendation algorithms, no engagement tricks, and no endless stream of content competing for your attention. Follow the people you care about. Share updates, photos, and articles. Participate in conversations at your own pace. Because Nice.Social is built around community rather than growth-at-all-costs, access is available to existing 10Centuries members. If you already have a 10Centuries account, simply sign in and start exploring. Features: β’ Read and publish posts β’ Follow interesting people β’ Share photos and articles β’ Fast, lightweight timeline browsing β’ Dark mode support β’ Secure authentication using the iOS Keychain β’ Local caching for improved performance β’ No advertising β’ No tracking β’ No sale of personal data Your Privacy Nice communicates directly with the 10Centuries platform. Your data remains under your control and is never shared with third parties. Posts may be temporarily cached on your device to improve performance, and your session credentials are securely stored using Apple's Keychain technology. A Different Kind of Social Network Nice.Social is part of 10Centuries, an independent publishing platform based in Japan.

An existing 10Centuries account is required to use this application.

The clearest difference is ads: Nice Social at none against ExpatWave's shown. Nice Social also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
