The Gryd Score

Forget followers.
Build an engagement score.

Follower counts are a ten-year-old vanity metric. Ours doesn’t decide who sees your work. A live score does, built from five things that actually say something about the quality of what you’re making.

Show up consistently, post things people want to talk about, and meet people in the real world. That’s the whole game.

Real-time and transparent. Your score updates as you post and engage. Tap it in your profile to see exactly what’s driving each component.
Engagement Rate
35%

How often people comment on and share your posts. Likes are deliberately excluded, because they’re too cheap a signal.

Niche Depth
25%

How focused you are across your main topics. Room for three without penalty (more on that below).

Consistency
20%

Just 8 posts a month hits 100%. No daily grind, no fighting the algorithm with AI carousels — show up, post things you’re proud of, get full credit.

Audience Quality
12%

How many of your followers actually engage. Ten real fans beat ten thousand ghosts.

Meetup History
8%

Because social networking is social in real life too. Host or attend meetups, get credit for it.

Cross-niche freedom

Post about everything you love.

Every other algorithm wants you boxed in. Start mixing cooking videos into your fitness feed and your reach falls off a cliff. You end up either trapped in one niche, or running three accounts to share three sides of yourself.

Ours is built for whole people.

Three topics, zero penalty. A fourth with a clear main focus still scores perfectly. You’d have to spread yourself across six or more unrelated topics before it meaningfully affects your score.

Social networking, actually social

More than a feed.

Events near you

Gigs, conferences, workshops, partner experiences, all in one place. Browse the feed or pan the map to see what’s on this week.

  • No rage bait, no ads chasing your clicks, no algorithmic rabbit holes

  • Log off when you’re done. The feed won’t beg you to stay.
What we do differently

Small decisions. Big difference.

Five product choices we made on purpose, so the feed actually works for the people using it.

Founded by creators, for creators

We’ve been on the other side of the algorithm. New accounts get a 30-day boost that helps fresh posts land in front of the right people, so new and experienced creators alike skip the six-month grind through the void.

AI that works for creators

We believe we’re the first platform to build an AI algorithm that actively backs creators, helping your content reach the right, much broader audience instead of optimising for the platform.

Conversations beat hearts

Comments and shares are what our algorithm cares about. Likes don’t factor into your score at all. A double-tap takes three seconds; a real reply means something.

The chronological feed, back

You followed those creators for a reason. The feed shows them in the order they posted — not whatever the algorithm decided you should care about today. Imagine that.

No 2am rabbit holes

We’re not racing for your attention. The feed is tuned to show you something worth your time, then get out of the way. Log off when you’re done.

Why we built it

Every platform lost the plot.

Engagement, advertisers, attention, AI slop. Somewhere in the metrics, every platform forgot what a social network was actually for.

SocialGryd was founded by creators, for creators — and the humans they make for. People before profits. Connection before clicks.

We’re building the social network we wished still existed.
