Jemzy is a location-based video sharing app built for real community without the noise. Instead of a feed, you get a map. Instead of scrolling, you walk. Here's how it works: - Drop a Jem. Open the app anywhere that means something to you. Record up to 60 seconds - no editing, no filters, no performance required. Drop it on the map at your exact location. - Explore the map. See short videos left by real people nearby - neighbors, regulars, and explorers. No algorithm deciding what you see. No sponsored content mixed in. - Walk to unlock. Spot a Jem that interests you? Walk within 100 feet of it to watch for free. The physical proximity is the point. Jemzy gets you moving through your city, not sitting in it. - Built for people who want connection without pressure. - Jemzy is designed with introverts in mind - people who want real community but don't need a megaphone to feel part of it. There's no follower count. No public likes. No one watching your numbers go up or down. Just a map, and real people nearby who left something worth finding. What you won't find here: - No endless feed to scroll - No data selling or ad targeting - No anonymous pile-ons (everyone uses their real name) - No algorithm deciding what matters What you will find: - Short, unedited videos from real people in your area - Local businesses, events, and community spaces on the map - A way to explore your city that actually gets you outside Made for peace. Jemzy is for the person who wants to feel more present in their community - not more performative online. Whether you're exploring a farmers market, leaving a note at your favorite trail, or just looking to feel a little less alone in a city full of people, there's a place for you here. Jemzy requires users to be 18 or older.

About

Postopia

Features
Read full description

Postopia is a social network built around communities. Every community is a real place — a forum with its own moderation, its own feed, its own character and its own discussions. Join the ones you care about, or start one. What you post there also reaches the people who follow you, so you are never choosing between a group and an audience. The home feed is reverse-chronological by default: posts from the people and communities you follow, in the order they were written. Where a surface does rank, it tells you why you are seeing something. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Post text, photos, video, polls and long-form Broadcasts - Spark, Echo and Quote the posts worth passing on - Share short vertical Vibes that expire, or pin one that does not - Send Notes: direct messages that are end-to-end encrypted - Chat one to one or in groups, and pass posts and Vibes into the conversation - Read the news from sources you choose, and favorite the ones you come back to - Listen to Postopia Music: tracks and videos from independent artists - Follow people, communities and the topics that interest you BUILT WITH LIMITS - No ads and no third-party trackers. What you do here is not sold or shared. - Verification is free. It describes who someone is and cannot be purchased. - Report, block and mute on every surface, with a 24-hour takedown commitment. - No infinite algorithmic scroll on the main feed. Postopia is for people 17 and over, and 18 where local rules require it.
