an anonymous, local Jodel alternative

like Jodel, hivemind is an anonymous feed of what's happening near you — but with more ways to post, a radius you control, and verified posters keeping it safe.

what hivemind is

hivemind is an anonymous, hyperlocal community app. You see and post to people inside a radius you choose — 1, 5, 10, 25, or 50 km — with no profiles, no followers, and no real names. Like Jodel, it's anonymous and built around your location. The differences are breadth and safety: hivemind lets you share photos, video, GIFs, memes, polls and "asks" (not just short text and images), lets you set your own radius instead of a fixed nearby range, and requires a private, encrypted identity verification before you can post — so anonymity doesn't turn into abuse.
