Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about Zakaya

What is Zakaya?

Zakaya is your go-to app for connecting with your communities online. We create uniquely connected micro-communities (mus) where interactions are meaningful and engaging, offering a true sense of belonging.

What makes Zakaya different?

Unlike traditional social media, Zakaya focuses on dense micro-communities where members can form lasting connections through meaningful interactions, events, and shared interests.

What is a densely connected community?

A densely connected community is where most members actually know each other - not just as usernames, but as real people. While typical online communities might have thousands of members who rarely interact, Zakaya's mus are designed to be smaller (around 100-200 people) where each person meaningfully connects with dozens of other members.

Think of it like a real-world community center or club that seamlessly connects your online and offline worlds. Whether you're planning meetups, coordinating events, or staying connected between in-person gatherings, Zakaya bridges the gap between digital community and real-world relationships. We want to make spaces where you'll recognize familiar faces and build meaningful relationships, not just scroll past strangers.

Am I the only one who feels lonely?

Absolutely not. According to a 2020 Cigna study, more than half of Americans (52%) report feeling alone, and 58% feel like no one knows them well.

In fact, nearly half of people report feeling that their relationships aren't meaningful.

You're not alone in feeling this way, and that's exactly why we built Zakaya - to help people find meaningful connections in smaller, more personal communities.

How do I make friends online?

Making friends online is about consistency and authenticity. Show up regularly in your mu's chat rooms and forums, participate in discussions, and most importantly - be yourself!

Our Buddy Match Program can help you connect with people who share your interests, and our smaller community sizes make it easier to form real connections.

Remember, meaningful friendships take time to develop, so don't feel pressured to rush the process.
