I built a free interactive Hangout Map to help us easily find meetups and mates in Aotearoa

Hey,

I've noticed it can sometimes be tough to organize actual offline meetups or find genuine connections just by scrolling through text posts. To try and make building a local social circle a bit easier, I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on.

I set up r/KiwiHangout. The main feature is a live, interactive map built right into Reddit. Instead of posting into the void, you can visually see who is nearby, discover local events, and connect with people in your area.

* Visual Discovery: You can easily spot local meetups, coffee runs, or pub trips on the map.
* Privacy First: There is absolutely zero GPS tracking. You just manually drop a pin in your general area or suburb.
* Platonic Connections: Whether you are looking for new mates, a hobby buddy, or just someone to grab a coffee with, the map supports it all.

If you're looking to make some plans this week or just want to see who's hanging out around the country, feel free to drop by and put a pin on the map. Let's get some more offline meetups going!

I've set up a network system where we can integrate this subreddit directly into the Hangout Map. If we partner up, the map app will automatically fetch and display your community's meetups visually. On top of that, we actively use AutoMod in the nationwide sub to redirect anyone posting about Brisbane straight back to your subreddit to boost your cross-traffic. (We actually just officially partnered with r/SydneySocial, so the integration system is already up, running, and successfully redirecting traffic over there!)

It’s completely automated and super easy to set up (it just requires a quick AutoMod snippet for sticky comments and adding a map shortcut button).

Making friends as an adult is tough, so here is a new interactive map and subreddit to help find local hangouts and build offline connections

Hey,

It feels like making genuine friends offline has gotten a lot harder lately. Even here in the PH, the feeling of isolation is becoming pretty common, especially for remote workers, people who just moved to the metro, or anyone whose old friend groups just got busy with life.

I wanted to share a cool community project of mine that is trying to help solve this: r/PinoyHangout.

It is a nationwide sub dedicated purely to making platonic, offline connections. The coolest part is that it uses a live, interactive Hangout Map built right into Reddit. Instead of just posting into the void and hoping someone nearby replies, you can visually see who is looking for friends in your area and check out local events.

* In screenshots, you can see the nationwide map and you can discover nearby locals and their profiles.

* Privacy first: You manually select your city or a general area. There is absolutely no GPS tracking involved.

I know r/ManilaSocialClub used to be a great spot for this before it went quiet, so the hope is that this new space can help pick up the torch, bring back some of that real-world social life, and help people find a new *barkada*.

(Just to respect Rule 3 of this sub, I want to be super clear that this is not commercial advertising! It is a completely free, community-driven space purely meant to help people connect).

If you are looking to grab coffee in BGC, go on a food trip in Binondo, or just want to see who is around your neighborhood, check it out and drop a pin. Let's get out of the house! Tara! 🍻

I want to create a social subreddit to manage hangouts, looking for friends, etc in Texas, (managing city by city using flairs), what do you think of it?

Hi, I did a rapid search of social subreddits in Texas, and they are all almost dead:
- r/austinsocialclub : dead
- r/DallasSocialLife : dead
- r/DallasMeetups: dead
- r/HoustonSocials : alive

So beside Houston, or it doesn’t exist or it is dead, nothing in san antonio, or other cities, so I am questioning if there is a need for that, or if I did my search of subreddits correctly.

I am working also on a reddit app to see people and event nearby from a subreddit, it would work as extension of the subreddit to manage better users and events, to have something more interactive.

But first do you think there is a need for it, would you want something like this?

(Btw, if I create it, I won’t compete with HoustonSocials, I will just redirect users to it)

I built a live hangout map to meet friends and make local meetups easier.

​

Kia ora,

​I know it can sometimes be a bit of a mission to lock down a crew for the weekend or meet new mates as an adult.

​To make it easier to get offline and connect, I’ve been working on a project called r/KiwiHangout. It runs on a global interactive hangout map, but I've set up this dedicated space specifically for NZ to help people find locals with similar interests, and I'm really hoping to get some activity going in Nelson.

​You can just drop a general pin on the map to show you're keen to hang out, or you can easily host a casual meetup. If you want to organize a quick coffee, a walk, or a pub catch-up, you just put the date in your post title (like (04/07)) and select the local flair. The map automatically reads it and drops a live event pin for people nearby to see.

​It’s still brand new and we are looking for some early adopters. If you’re wanting to get out and meet some new folks, come give it a spin and let's get some pins on the board for the city!

It runs on a global interactive hangout map, but I've set up this dedicated space specifically for NZ to help people find locals with similar interests, and I'm really hoping to get some activity going in Hamilton.

​You can just drop a general pin on the map to show you're keen to hang out, or you can easily host a casual meetup. If you want to organize a quick coffee, a walk, or a pub catch-up, you just put the date in your post title (like (04/07)) and select the local flair. The map automatically reads it and drops a live event pin for people nearby to see.

​It’s still brand new and we are looking for some early adopters. If you’re wanting to get out and meet some new folks, come give it a spin and let's get some pins on the board for the city!

I built a live hangout map to meet friends and make local meetups easier.

​Kia ora,

I know it can sometimes be a bit of a mission to lock down a crew for the weekend or meet new mates as an adult.

​To make it easier to get offline and connect, I’ve been working on a project called r/KiwiHangout. It runs on a global interactive hangout map, but I've set up this dedicated space specifically for NZ to help people find locals with similar interests, and I'm really hoping to get some activity going in Hawke's Bay.

Anyone keen to test out a new Reddit hangout map for organizing local meetups?

Hey,

​I've been working on a little side project to help combat the whole "making adult friends is hard" thing. I wanted to build something that takes the friction out of organizing a quick pub quiz team, finding a ski buddy, or just meeting up for coffee.

​I created r/KiwiHangout, which ties directly into a live hangout map. Instead of scrolling through comments trying to figure out who is around, you just tag your post with the Queenstown flair and a date, and it automatically shows on the map for locals to find.

​If anyone is keen to mess around with it, drop a pin, or even host a casual hangout this weekend, come say hi. I'd love to get some Queenstown locals testing it out to see if it's actually useful for the community!
