social discovery Live

🌐 Lonesome no more.

Orbits make the people actually in your life visible — close friends, extended friends, friends-of-friends, and strangers who share the night. Four postures. One sensible default. The smallest reasonable circle that still feels alive.

The Problem

Every other network sells you a granfalloon.

A follower count. A list of mutuals. LinkedIn connections. People you met once at a conference in 2014. Wide, loud, empty. The algorithm decides who shows up in your feed, and the people who are actually in your life get flattened into the same pile as strangers pretending to be friends.

📣

Followers aren't friends

A 4,000-person audience is not a community. The people who actually show up for you are maybe twelve.

🔕

The algorithm picks, not you

You don't see what your close friends are doing — you see what the feed decides is "engaging." Two different things.

👥

One flat list of "friends"

Your sister and a coworker from five jobs ago are treated identically. No gradient. No orbit. No posture.

🫥

Loneliness, but networked

You can have 2,000 mutuals and still not know who's going out tonight. That's not a social network. That's a granfalloon.

What you get

What Orbits gives you.

🔒

Private (Default)

Invite-only. You pick the guest list by hand. Only the people you explicitly add can see the event — no orbit auto-inclusion, no discovery.

🫂

Friends

Your close orbit is auto-included. The people you've chosen and who've chosen you back see it and can say yes.

🌐

Friends-of-friends

Your extended orbit — how new friends actually happen. Anyone a close friend vouches for can see. Not strangers; adjacent.

🎉

Open

Anyone who wants in. A night with strangers-who-might-be-friends. For when you want the room bigger, deliberately.
