The digitisation of social interactions has made it easier for people to maintain contact and build online communities. However, there has been a decrease in in-person interaction that has contributed to a sense of disconnect.

South African-made social media platform Sociable hopes to solve this problem by combining online engagement with in-person meetups, connecting people based on shared interests.

In this episode of the TechCentral Show, Sociable co-founder and CEO Jason van Dyk tells TechCentral’s Nathi Ndlovu about the importance of community and how Sociable is helping drive its development.

In the show, Van Dyk delves into:

• How community builders benefit from using the Sociable platform;

• The features Sociable provides to communities and their members to enhance engagement;

• How meeting spaces including coffee shops, bars and restaurants benefit from the in-person component of Sociable’s community meetups;

• Sociable’s approach to safety for its users;

• How Sociable positions itself against large social media platforms like Facebook;

• Some of the most popular communities on the platform; and

• The impact of AI on the social media landscape.
