Trying something new can feel awkward at first. So we’ve gathered a few tips to help you get started with Meet5 and have a confident start on the app!
Note: these tips include some Germany-specific features.

 

Step 1: Complete your profile

A complete profile helps you meet new people faster. It’s the foundation for getting to know others and joining activities.

The profile picture: The first thing people see is your profile picture, so it's important to choose a good one! Make sure it's a recent photo, not pixellated, blurry, or over-edited. Avoid using a group photo. This clear visibility will help people recognize you at an activity.

You're welcome to add more than one photo if you'd like people to get a better sense of who you are, such as adding a picture of your pet. Just make sure the first image is you. 

The profile description: Use the profile description to provide further information about yourself. You can decide how long you want this text to be. Share something about your hobbies, your favorite quote, or any other fun fact.

Tags/Keywords: Tags are a way to share your hobbies, interests, and any other things about yourself. You can choose up to 20 tags. Tags let members search, filter, and invite other members to activities based on those tags. For example, if you select the tag hiking, you will be invited to hikes more often than if you didn't.  You can either select from the pre-made tags or come up with your own.

 

Step 2: The 'Newcomer's Call.' (active in Germany) Every Tuesday at 18:00, a Meet5 team member hosts a Zoom meeting and guides you through the app, its most important features, and tell you more about the community. There will be many opportunities for you to ask questions. The meeting usually takes between 60 and 90 minutes. It is attended by many users from different regions.

Simply click on the link below to join the meeting (the link can be used every week!)

You can also find the virtual meeting in the app. On the meeting overview page, tap on the magnifying glass and search for 'Neulinge'. You can be sure to find the meeting. The 'Neulinge' meeting is not a requirement. You can skip this step or come back at a later time when you're an experienced user.

 

Step 3: Join your first (real) activity 

Have you completed your profile and participated in the (optional) virtual Newcomer's call? Now it's time to find an activity that you like. There are two options for you to join an activity: either join an activity under 'For you' and 'Invitations', or scroll through the activity page overview and join another that interests you. After you join the activity, you'll get access to the group chat. You have the option of communicating with other participants and discussing important arrangements. The weekly Meet5 activity is an excellent option for your first activity. It's like a regulars' table. You can search for the weekly activity in the app. Just tap on the magnifying glass on the activity overview page and search for 'Wochentreff'. A list of Meet5 weekly activities in your area will appear.

Step 4: Have fun and contribute to the community

After you have joined and attended a few activities, try creating your own. You don't have to limit yourself. You can decide if you want to hike, dine out, play mini golf, or just relax at a picnic. It is easy and fun to create your own activity. If you are still uncertain, you can find a guide here. You can also reach out to us via email at support@meet5.de, and we're happy to assist you. We wish you lots of fun with Meet5 and are happy that you are a part of our community. If you have questions, problems, or suggestions, please email support@meet5.de or look at our FAQs.
