Getting started

Getting started on freestate.app means creating an account, setting your home town, and using Events, Chat, and listings. This path is about using the app; if you want in-person gatherings, browse Events after you sign in.

Step-by-step

1Create an account via Sign up; returning members use Sign in.
2Start with Show my town (/show-my-town) to see what is listed near you, then open Discover for the calendar and directory.
3Set your home town on your profile so local group chats and regional discovery unlock.
4Explore Discover (/), Events, and Activity for what is happening near you.
5Join conversations in Chat; follow politics tabs if you care about civic action.
6Post your first listing or event when ready via Add Listing.
7Ask Granite Guide (sidebar Granite icon or /granite-guide) for step-by-step help. It finds and explains; it does not post or RSVP for you.
