One of the main problems with the most popular social media platforms is that they have an undefined niche. This is because they want to cater to as many people as possible. And although there is nothing inherently wrong with the approach, you are bound to be surrounded by a bunch of content you don’t care about. Everyone gets to share what they want and with ads on top of all that it’s natural that you find the whole experience tedious. 

We tend to scroll more than look because we are simply hoping to find something that will pique our interest. With niche social networks that are not the case, as they consist of people genuinely interested in the same topic. That being said, these networks are way smaller, because they only cater to specific communities. You would be surprised just how many of these platforms are out there so here we will go over some of them, as they seem pretty interesting. 

Care2

This is a platform for social philanthropists. Care 2 is designed to motivate its users to do something about the never-ending problems that surround us, and donate funds to organizations or people who are currently trying to solve those problems.  

Dogster / Catster
