Diaspora bridge

Run your diaspora orgs on ShowMe.

One app for your members, your events, your programming, and your feed — whether they're in Accra, Columbia, MO, or anywhere in between. Stop juggling WhatsApp groups and a website nobody updates.

Member list that doesn't live in a spreadsheet

Members sign up, pick their interests, and you see them in one place — searchable, filterable, exportable.

A feed your members actually open

The Townsquare. Stories, ShowIts, posts, comments, respects. People check in even between events.

Events that turn into rituals

Weekly runs, monthly suppers, Sunday gatherings. RSVPs, attendance, reminders — all in the same app the feed lives in.

Engagement that compounds

Points, streaks, the Golden Ring, a live leaderboard. Members come back because being active is rewarded — not nagged for.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work for a Ghana association in the US?

Yes — that's exactly what ShowMe was built for. Whether you're running a Ghanaian Students Association at Mizzou, the Ghana Association of Mid-Missouri, or a returning-diaspora circle in Accra, ShowMe gives your members one place to plug in regardless of which side of the Atlantic they're on.

What does it cost to run a diaspora org on ShowMe?

ShowMe is free to start. You can launch a free Compound, build your member list, run events, and host the feed — all without paying anything. Paid tiers exist if you want to charge members or unlock advanced features.

How is this different from WhatsApp groups, Discord, or a Facebook group?

WhatsApp groups don't have member lists, RSVPs, lessons, or engagement loops — and they vanish in the chat. Discord is built for gamers; the social glue feels off for an alumni network or faith group. Facebook groups feel dated and decline in reach. ShowMe is built specifically for organizations that want a feed, members, events, and engagement in one app.

Can our members find each other?

Yes. Every Compound has a member list and a feed where members post, comment, share photos and ShowIts (short videos), and earn points and streaks for being active. The Townsquare keeps the community alive between events.

How do I keep members coming back?

ShowMe has built-in engagement loops — points for activity, streaks for consistency, the Golden Ring for daily challenges, and a leaderboard. Members come back because the app rewards them for being there.

Built for Columbia, MO + Accra

Whether your diaspora orgs runs in Columbia, MO, Accra, or anywhere in between, ShowMe handles members, events, and the feed in one app.
