Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bloom Community?

Bloom Community is the social app for edge-of-culture communities that helps you meet people organically through shared events. We collaborate with event organizers whose events facilitate connection and community. These groups are often at the boundary of culture, exploring new ways to connect authentically, approaching life with a learning mindset, and creating a more community-minded future. In Bloom’s app, you can discover events, become Buds with people, and join community conversations. We want to live in a world where all people have the felt sense of safety and belonging that comes when you've found your community.

How do I join?

First, download our app from the App Store or Google Play. You can become Buds with people and chat 1:1. You can also join events - with your Buds or solo - and find people who are interested in the same events and experiences as you.

Who is Bloom for?

We welcome everyone 18+ who shares our community values and is looking for connection. On Bloom Community, you can connect organically with burner, queer, artist, creative, polyamorous, wellness, kink, conscious, spiritual, and alternative communities through meaningful shared experiences. We strive to be inclusive for all sexual and relationship orientations, gender identities, and interests. You are welcome here.

How does Buds work?

Every day, we offer you five suggestions of people in the community that we think you might like to meet. Your suggestions are based on the preferences you share with us. You become Buds with someone when you tap "Bud" and they do as well - it's a consent-based mutual opt-in. No unsolicited DMs on Bloom!

Is Bloom Community a dating app?

Bloom Community is a community app and people use it to make all types of connections. When you Bud someone and they Bud you back, you can chat 1:1 - and then you both can decide what form that connection will take. If you're interested, you can flirt with your Buds and we'll let you both know if the flirt is mutual.

When are you coming to my city?

If you want to see us live in your city, share us with your friends and have them sign-up, and let us know about event organizers in your area who you think should list their events on Bloom Community (you can email intros to events@joinbloom.community).
