The community
Friend Loom is a private online community for people who want real connection. You share your stories, you follow the members whose lives interest you, and you join as many events as you like from your computer, phone or tablet. Members lead most of them, so the calendar changes every month. Nobody phones you, and nobody minds if you sit a week out.
Every member has a page inside the club: where they are from, what they know about, the stories they have told. Follow anyone and you will see when they post or host something. Private to the community, invisible to the open internet.
Post the long version: where you grew up, the job nobody knows about, the year everything changed. Members read it, ask about it, and remember it next time you speak.
Smaller rooms built around one thing: books, cards, walking, genealogy, veterans, caregivers. Join as many as you want, or start the one you wish existed.
Put your own event on the community calendar: a hymn sing, a trivia night, a walk and talk, a lesson in the thing you are best at. We help you run it and fill the room.
Photos, recipes, the finished puzzle, a thinking of you. Conversation carries on between events, with no feed to scroll and no likes to chase.
Birthdays get sung to and someone notices when you miss the events week after week.
A regular rhythm every week, plus whatever members put on the calendar this month. Come to one, come to six.
Your loom hour · weekly
The same 4 to 8 people at the same hour, hosted, so it never turns into an awkward silence.
Life story hour · weekly
One member takes the floor and tells their story. Everyone else listens and asks good questions.
One thing I learned · weekly
A member teaches the community something useful: sourdough, birding by ear, reading a Medicare letter.
Joke jar · weekly, 20 minutes
Everybody brings one joke. Groaners are not only allowed, they tend to win.
Open rooms · most mornings
Coffee hours with no agenda. Stay five minutes or fifty, camera off if you like.
Member events · all month
Trivia, hymn sings, garden tours, film clubs, birthday parties. Whatever the community decides to run.
Free social products sell your attention and your data to advertisers, that's exactly the machine that made everyone lonelier. Your $25 pays hosts and keeps the rooms private. We advertise Friend Loom to find new members, but advertisers never get your information. You're the customer, not the product.
Two clicks in your account on community.friendloom.com, effective at the end of your billing period. No phone maze, no retention scripts. Your loom will simply miss you.
No. $25 a month or $270 a year, and that's the entire price list. The annual plan is a discount, not a lock-in.
Waitlists are free, and waitlist members get first pick of seats plus founding-member pricing when their room opens. Find your room →
