- Niche communities with limited spaces on Reddit
- Users banned or restricted by Reddit’s strict policies

- People seeking a platform to talk freely with minimal restrictions
"Your Space. Your Voice." Start meaningful conversations without borders.
- Launch on Product Hunt and Indie Hackers
- Reddit/Twitter outreach: "Banned from Reddit? Try Konvo.Space"
- Invite niche communities (writers, crypto, indie hackers, student groups)
- Focus on SEO: "Create a community space", "Reddit alternative"
- Word-of-mouth growth via easy community invites
If you want, I can help you expand this into a pitch deck, landing page, or complete UI wireframes. Let me know!
That’s an excellent idea! Creating a Reddit alternative with more freedom and community-first policies can capture a real market gap right now.
Let’s fully break it down for you:
- Vyre (like "wire" - connection)
- Circlo (circles/communities)
- Threadly (threads, discussions)
- Chattri (chat + tree = branching conversations)
- Communee (community-focused)
- ClusterUp (clusters = groups, up = growth)
- BubbleTalk (safe, open bubbles)
- Konvo (conversations, simple spelling)
- Socian (derived from social + union)
- Tethr (tether = connect, without the 'e' for a tech vibe)
- “Your Space. Your Rules.”
- “Communities Without Borders.”
- “Talk Freely, Connect Deeply.”
- “Find Your People. Start Your Space.”
- “Where Conversations Grow.”
- Option 1: Abstract chat bubbles forming a network or circle.
- Option 2: A minimalist tree (symbolizing growth and branches like communities).
- Option 3: Interlocking nodes (symbolizing connection and openness).
- Style: Rounded edges, soft colors (blues, greens, purples for trust and calm).
- Typography: Rounded sans-serif fonts (e.g., Inter, Poppins, Nunito).
