Hi Robin 💕😊 I'm favouring MeWe to all the other sites I've had a look at so far, have you tried it?

I have, @Heidi ... I tested it out … too much bad there (they strip metadata completely and people can download your photos whether or not you have “download” turned off) … I already have sites that do that. I really don’t like it there. It is so much like Facebook (but less blue at least … ;oD). Here at Cake, it feels a little like the early days at G+, conversation-wise. I only wish for a more robust image experience here. Though, I know it isn't intended for photographers here, so I am still looking for a perfect home. I do wish I could follow people here. While I understand why the "topics" over "people" follow option (less focus on "follower count", popularity, etc.) I prefer to follow people so I can learn more about them through the topics they're interested in ... it is a much fuller adventure when one can connect with individuals and all their myriad interests. You can do that on MeWe, but the interface there leaves me feeling a little "meh".

I hear you x nowhere is perfect, there may never be such a place. I hope something hits the mark in the months to come xx

Robin, I’m still adjusting to the new paradigm but I came up with a hybrid solution that may be useful for staying connected with Google Plus refugees here.

That was the workaround that I came up with as well, @apm ... I have a little folder on my desktop that I added folks to when I started here. Not an elegant solution, but whatevs ... ;o7

Is there a "cake" android app please?

not yet!

In this thread - https://cake.co/c/yzgJBVC/fF51zw8 - there is a comment from @Chris about why the iOS app was developed first.

I added a shortcut to Cake on my Android phone and I find it works quite well. I didn't know that was possible until someone here pointed it out. With the site open in Chrome on your phone, click the 3 dots in the upper right, then "Add to Home Screen".

I plan to try the Android app when it is available but for now the shortcut is very usable.

Thank you ♥
