From joining to your first real conversation.

Join

1. 1

   Open the link, or the site

   Your host sends a link, or you start on your own at affini.us.

2. 2

   Create your account

   Name, email, and a few basics. Your birth date is never shown to anyone.

3. 3

   Make your card

   Add an optional photo and a few sentences about yourself and your interests. Only your host and the members you’re introduced to see it.

Answer

1. 4

   Your Affini profile

   Activities, values, personality and background. Answer more than the basics if you want deeper matches.

2. 5

   Your goals for this community

   What you are looking for here, chosen from the goals and activity types your host set up.

Arriving from a host’s link? You will answer your community’s goals first, then your profile. Signing up on your own? Your profile comes first, and a community’s goals when you join one.

1. 6

   Introductions arrive

   A few at a time, each with a card about the person.

2. 7

   Reach out

   Use their contact link if they added one. Otherwise your community’s own channel, or ask your host.

3. 8

   Create an intro link

   Send it with your message, so they know Affini introduced you rather than you finding them.

4. 9

   Pin or close out introductions

   Pinning keeps the person in your list as other introductions shift. Closing out frees the spot so a new introduction can take its place. We’d appreciate your feedback when you close one, so we can keep improving Affini.
