“Moved to a new city alone, knew no one. Within a month on Sarafun I had a circle — coffee buddies, morning runners, and a friend I go to ceramics class with.”

Frequently asked
You asked
Yes, Sarafun is free for participants right now. We may add paid features later, but core participation in the community will stay free. You can already support the project with Telegram Stars.
To keep bots and anonymous trolls out. Every member has a real Telegram account, and no one can message you out of nowhere.
Every two weeks you pick who you'd like to meet (guy, girl, couple). The algorithm pairs you up, you say hi and go grab coffee.
Any. Sarafun isn't tied to geography — communities form around shared interests and people, not around a particular city. If no one's around you yet, drop us a line — we'll help gather the first ones.
We only store what you put in your profile yourself. All chat lives inside Telegram, and we don't see it. You can delete your profile with one click.
