  1. Report system for hangouts

    We care about our community safety. You can now report hangouts that may violate our Community Guidelines or Terms of Use.

    • On any hangout you do not organise, use the "Report hangout" button next to the description to flag a concern.
    • Choose a reason, describe what happened, and optionally ask to be notified about the outcome.
    • Please just report a hangout if you're sure it violates our Community Guidelines or Terms of Use. Reporting for no good reason might lead to a block of your account due to abuse.
  2. Improvements to hangout discovery

    Discover now shows every open hangout in Berlin, sorted by how many interests you share with the organiser.

    • Hangouts with the most interests in common appear first; ones with no overlap are listed last.
    • If you and the organiser share no interests, the hangout is greyed out and cannot be opened — hover to see why.
    • You still need at least one shared interest to open a hangout and apply to join.
  3. New avatar picker with background colors

    Choose from preset Croodles avatars and pick a background color that suits you.

    • Avatars are now stored on Belongi instead of loading from an external service.
    • During onboarding you can pick one of 12 background colors designed for good contrast with the doodle strokes.
  4. Email verification improvements

    Clearer verification flow and the option to resend your confirmation email.

    • Registration no longer asks for your postcode upfront — that comes during onboarding.
    • If your link expires, you can request a new verification email from the login and register screens.
