This and other links look great, and more natural/simpler than the 2d board.

But gatherly doesn't seem ready to serve my family and I if I have to request info (I can't just sign up).

What's the best, simple app like this that allows easy subconversations that my family, parents, other non-technical folks could easily join?

I don't mind paying to host but it has to be easy for them to log in and use.

I run a completely free service https://firemeet.io Though I think gather's UX is actually very friendly to non-technical people!

That's cool! How is it funded?

I've engineered it to be very inexpensive to run. I work on high efficiency video codecs, so one benefit is that I get to sometimes test my codec's and get real user feedback.

I personally don't find virtual stuff fun, the pandemic is really sad, so wanted to make something available for public use. :)

hi revalo <3 miss you hope the other coast is treating you well

miss you too fam <3

You should try Remo https://remo.co It’s very easy to branch out into sub conversations and targeted at non technical folks.
