Your questions about Xanivar

Xanivar is a social network for your people, your interests and the things you make.

Catch up with friends. Find your favourite weirdos. Start a room for that thing you could talk about for hours. Share photos, writing, music and video, go live, or watch something together.

You can learn from someone, teach a course, host an event or build a community. Creators, professionals and businesses can also share their work, offer paid content, sell products and take bookings.

And when you find someone you want to work with, build something together.

Connect. Create. Collaborate. There’s room for the different parts of you.

You might come for someone’s posts and stay for their music, a course they teach or the community they’ve built. You can join the conversation, watch together, book their time or work on something with them.

Your interests help shape what you discover. You can share different kinds of work and choose how you offer it, including memberships, courses, events and products.

You keep ownership of your original work. We don’t sell your personal data.

And you’re welcome to just enjoy yourself. You don’t have to turn every hobby into a business.

No. Come for your friends, your interests or something that catches your eye.

You can share your own posts, join communities, listen to music, watch together, take a course or enjoy what other people make. Your hobby can stay a hobby.

If you do want to offer paid work or services, Creator, Business and Professional profiles give you ways to do that.

Yes, you can join with a free account.

Some people offer paid content, memberships, courses, products or events. Those are separate purchases. You choose what you want to pay for.

Start with what you’re into. Choose your interests, explore people and communities, and follow the ones you want to hear more from.

Join a conversation, spend time in a room or watch something together. You don’t need a polished introduction. Having something in common is a good place to start.

You can change your interests in settings as you discover new things.

Yes. Join a community around something you love, or start one of your own.

Communities bring people together through posts, discussions and announcements. Depending on the features available to your account, you can also organise events and offer products or paid access.

It could be a place for your fans, your customers or the five people who take your very specific hobby as seriously as you do.

Yes. Share your Xanivar profile or invite people to your community so they can join you here.

People create their own accounts and choose whether to join. Their accounts, messages and contact details from another platform don’t move over automatically.

Xanivar is a social network for shared interests, communities and the things people make.

You can meet new people and get to know them through conversations and activities. There isn’t a dating or matchmaking service.

You can charge for the things you make, the experiences you host and the services you offer.

That includes photos, articles, videos, music and live streams. You can offer paid comments, memberships and subscriptions, teach courses, sell products or host paid events.

Professional profiles can take bookings. Creators and businesses can also work together on sponsorships and brand deals.

You decide what you’re offering and what people get for their money. Creator, Business and Professional profiles have earning tools, with availability depending on your country and account requirements.

Yes, where paid memberships are available to your account.

You can offer access to content or a community through a membership or subscription. Make it clear what’s included, how much it costs and whether the payment repeats.

People should know what they’re joining before they pay.

A large following isn’t the starting requirement for the earning options described here.

You need something people want to buy, whether that’s your work, a course, a membership or your time. The account and country requirements still apply.

Posting something and getting views doesn’t automatically mean you’ll be paid.

Yes. Platform fees and payment processing charges can apply. Taxes may also apply, depending on where you are and what you sell.

Check the current pricing and payment terms when deciding what to charge.

Earning options vary by country. The rules can also differ between paid content, memberships, products and other offers.

Some options require age verification or business information. Payment limits and tax requirements can apply too.

Being able to join Xanivar doesn’t necessarily mean every earning option is available where you live.

You keep ownership of your original work.

When you post it, you give Xanivar the permissions described in our Terms so we can host and display it through the service.

Only share work you own or have permission to use. That includes any music, photos or other material inside something you’ve made.

Your people, their choice.

People who agree to share their contact details with you can stay connected with you beyond Xanivar. That choice belongs to each person. Following you doesn’t automatically give you their email address or permission to contact them elsewhere.

Their Xanivar accounts stay theirs. Your relationship doesn’t have to end because you move on.

Yes. You can steer what Xanivar recommends by choosing and changing your interests. Those changes apply across your feed, Scroll and discovery.

You can browse the people you follow, explore through Discover or see what’s trending. Your settings also include a choice about whether your feed is personalised.

You can see how your activity is shaping Xanivar’s understanding of your interests. If you’ve moved on from something, your recommendations should have a chance to catch up.

No. We don’t sell your personal data.

Your privacy settings let you manage choices including personalised recommendations, optional analytics and marketing emails.

Our Privacy Policy explains what information Xanivar uses, which service providers help us run it and how to exercise your rights.

No. Xanivar includes advertising features, so we don’t describe it as an ad-free social network.

You can block someone you don’t want contact with and report content or behaviour that breaks our rules.

Community rules and Xanivar’s Acceptable Use Policy also apply. Reports help us review what’s happened and decide what action is appropriate.

If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.

Personal is for you: your people, your interests and what you want to share. A private personal account is for your own social use rather than earning from content.

Creator is for the things you make. It gives you a studio to manage your work, with earning and payout tools for eligible accounts.

Professional is for the services you offer. You can take bookings and show credentials people can check.

Business is for your organisation and team. Staff roles give people access to their work without everyone sharing a password.

Choose the profile that fits what you want to do.

Your @handle is your username on Xanivar. It helps people find your profile and gives you an address to share.

You can use the handle reservation page to check and reserve an available name. Names need to meet our handle rules.

Pick something people will recognise and remember. Your own name, your business name or the name you already use for your work is a good starting point.

We’re opening access country by country.

Check the signup or waitlist page for availability where you live. If access hasn’t opened yet, you can join the waitlist.

Earning and payment features have their own country requirements, so they may become available at different times.

Start from the Xanivar homepage and follow the signup steps. If your country is still on the waitlist, you can register your interest and reserve an available handle.

Once you’re in, choose your interests and set up your profile. Find a few people or communities you like, then have a look around.

You can read How Xanivar works if you want a tour first. There’s no need to figure everything out on day one.
