Last winter I started spending more time online because several people I regularly worked and chatted with were living in completely different countries. Most social platforms were fine for scrolling through updates, but actual conversations often disappeared under recommendations, ads, and endless short videos. Someone in an online design discussion mentioned Heymaty, so I decided to create an account and see whether the communication side was genuinely different. The part I found useful was that heymaty does not seem to treat discovery as the final goal. Finding an interesting person or creator can become the beginning of an actual interaction. I initially followed people discussing photography, digital projects, travel, and entrepreneurship. After browsing for a while, I noticed that discovering creators felt more purposeful when there was an opportunity to communicate rather than simply leave a like and continue scrolling.
