Gather is a community platform built on a simple idea: you should know what happens with your data, you should have real tools to organize and run your community, and if you want to monetize what you've built, you should easily be able to. 1,000+ communities and growing daily. Available on iOS and Android. Web coming soon.

We don't sell your data. We don't scrape your conversations. We don't feed your content to AI companies. You can read exactly what we do and what we don't. Full transparency.
Read our Privacy Promise →Anyone can start a community for anything. Book club, hobby group, professional network. It takes minutes. And when you're ready, gate your content, set your price, and get paid. Or keep it free. It's your Gathering.
Organize with sections, set thread prefixes, control who can access what, and moderate with real tools. Admin and mod roles, approval queues, ban controls, thread locking, and logs. The stuff other platforms don't give you.
Most platforms bury content in 24 hours. On Gather, a solution posted in 2009 is just as findable and valuable today as it was then. Searchable, permanent, and indexed. Wisdom that compounds over time instead of disappearing.
Bots are destroying online communities. Gather is committed to keeping them off the platform. We actively monitor for bot activity and take it seriously. Every member has a profile, post history, and reputation that builds over time. The person who's been contributing for 12 years looks different from someone who joined yesterday. That trust matters.
Arborist Site, Rocketry Forum, Kitchen Knife Forums, Homebrew Talk, Collector Freaks, and hundreds more. Independent communities all in one place with a single login. No juggling accounts, no switching apps, no separate passwords.
