an anonymous community app beyond campus — a Fizz alternative

Fizz is built per-college and asks for a school email. hivemind is the same anonymous, local feed for your whole community — open to anyone 18+ nearby.

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 Fizz, it's anonymous and community-based. The difference is reach: Fizz builds a separate anonymous network for each college and typically requires a school email to join. hivemind is open to anyone 18+ in your area and works across your whole town, with photos, video, GIFs, memes, polls and "asks".
