Your guide to starting meaningful conversations on KindTalks

KindTalks is designed to make connecting with others feel natural, safe, and rewarding โ€” even if you're not sure where to begin.

Here's everything you need to know to get started, step by step.

๐Ÿงต 1. Create Your Account

Once registered, you'll be redirected to your personal Dashboard. This is your space.

There, you can:

  • โ€ขUpload a photo (optional)
  • โ€ขWrite a short bio (Who are you? What are you hoping to talk about?)
  • โ€ขSelect your Areas of Interest (e.g., books, mental health, sports, university stress, mindfulness, music, etc.)

๐Ÿ”„ 3. Get Matched

There are two ways to connect:

  • โ€ข1-to-1 Conversations: Go to the Video Sessions page and choose to join now or schedule a session based on your time zone and availability.
  • โ€ขJoin a Group Session: Prefer a group vibe? Browse our Interest-Based Groups to find recurring discussions around shared passions.

๐ŸŽฅ 4. Start the Conversation

Each KindTalk is designed to be:

  • โ€ขShort (15โ€“30 minutes)
  • โ€ขStructured, but informal
  • โ€ขSupportive and non-judgmental

๐Ÿงญ 5. Explore Your Dashboard

๐Ÿ”’ Safety First

KindTalks is built on empathy and trust. That's why we've set up clear safety features:

  • โ€ขAll conversations follow our Community Guidelines
  • โ€ขNo harassment, hate speech, or inappropriate behavior is tolerated
  • โ€ขSessions are not recorded
  • โ€ขYou can report any issue directly from your session window

๐Ÿง  What If I Don't Know What to Say?

That's okay. Many users feel the same.

Every session includes optional conversation prompts to help get things started.

You might see questions like:

  • โ€ข"What's been on your mind lately?"
