The world of social networks is very large, so much so that, surely, there are a handful of several of them that we do not know or about which we have only heard very little.
Since the arrival of the pandemic, more than before, we have turned to social networks to use them beyond the usual (publishing, giving “likes”, half chatting, etc.). From that moment on, they became our only window to the outside world.
Let us remember that, as a result of the spread of Covid-19 last year, we were living a long confinement, reason enough not to see friends and family. To nobody. That was when Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and others, appeared to get a little closer to all those people that we stopped seeing for an extremely long period.
On the other hand, not only common users decided to approach social networks, brands did too. In fact, they had already done it long before, but, thanks to the pandemic, they took on a new value as commercial showcases.
Thus, platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, Twitch, among others, were consolidated as spaces for eCommerce, to exploit the resource of influencers in order to carry out campaigns and content that would allow reaching the largest number of consumers .
Today, those same social networks are very well positioned; the spectrum for brands is limited to these platforms, as they are the ones that offer a greater presence among Internet users. Each of them has millions of users around the world.
However, as we mentioned at the beginning, there are a handful of social networks about which little or nothing is known; platforms that do not have the great demand of Facebook, Twitter and the others, but that represent a respite from the often toxic environment that is lived daily.
In addition to the fact that users do not know them, it is likely that brands will not locate them either, perhaps missing out on an interesting market. That is why today we present you five social networks that, probably, neither users nor brands know:
With Discord, users can create various topic groups to chat with each other and invite more Internet users to join the conversation.
Facecast was launched in 2018 and has the function of creating short videos of 15 to 60 seconds. In addition, you can broadcast live and even video chats. It is a bit similar to Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok, although without the summons of these.
Mastodon is a microblogging network similar to Twitter. It was launched in 2016 and is made up of several instances or subnets, each with its own rules and regulations. In general, these instances are free, although each moderator or server can establish funding rules.
This social network is, above all, a great tool for you to find out about everything that happens in your neighborhood or neighborhood, from everyday events to the places that are around you. So, if you need, for example, a florist, with Nextdoor you can find out which one is closest to your home. It’s like asking your neighbor, only this is a virtual neighbor.
This is a social network very similar to what Foursquare was, it allows you to track all your outings and share images, reviews and all the information of the places you visit.
