Hello LVRSNFRNDS,
There's been quite an amount of changes here recently! We are super excited as Samy has been conducting a first series of member research interviews and it has brought a lot of clarity and fresh ideas! We actually have already implemented a few things based on those. Thank you to all of you who have taken part! If you wish you were part of the research, I highly encourage you to join us at 💼 Bureau, our bimonthly community workshop.
This is our release note #2!
Members Playbook
We have added a 💝 Resources section with books, films, shows and podcasts! We're not done yet, we will soon add more and make it possible for you to submit entries and review them.
We have added a new guide on how to 🏕 invite someone to Open House, this rendezvous is a unique opportunity to show what is LVRSNFRNDS to your non members loved ones.
We have updated the guide on how to host a Salon, which is now called how to 🤙 call a Salon and gather more information on what to expect.
Rendezvous
We've been thinking a lot about 🤙 Salon lately and we would like to encourage you to experiment with the format. We all know it works great to support each other on something specific. We believe there is more.
'I would love for you to have fun with 🤙 Salon! Consider it a constant open line to your fellow members. What about using it to discuss a topic of interest like you would post a thread in the forum (e.g.: BDSM on a budget, dating app red flags), what about making it a recurring meet-up 'circle like' (e.g.: solo polyam folks, sex and mental health, fat folks, parents, etc.). Feel free to reach out to us with ideas, we'll be happy to help you.' — Sophie
We have changed the frequency of 🍸 Happy Hour, from weekly to monthly, to gather a bigger crowd and... Guess who's back? Our signature online party 🎲 Roulette! Expect: our signature robe and underwear dress code, 1:1 screen time, music and members shows in between.
We have decided to share 🎙 90 Minutes with the world starting this January! Contact us if you'd like to be the member we put a spotlight on!
Tech
Zoom was dead, long live Zoom! We're back on it!
'It is as the proverbs say: the grass is always greener on the other side BUT an old broom knows the dirty corners best.' — Samy
We are still working on an app to enhance your experience with LVRSNFRNDS. Keep an eye on the dedicated Community Forum thread if you want to help us.
That's all folks! I hope you enjoyed this first update. Feel free to WhatsApp us if you want to share anything about this.
