Our limited tests show that yes, Hunyuan is comparable or better than Sora on most prompts. Very promising model

Hi zoogeny (and anyone else here) — you can try our new app Nim to address the Runway problems you describe https://alpha.nim.video

We offer both image-to-video (same situation as Runway, need a few attempts to make something awesome) and video-to-video (under the name "Restyle 2.0") - this is our newest tool and is highly reliable, i.e. you can get complex motion (kissing, handshakes, boxing, skateboarding, etc) with controllable changes to input video (changing outfits, characters, backgrounds, styles).

Unlike Runway and Kling, we currently offer a smiple UNLIMITED plan for just $10/mo. Check it out! https://alpha.nim.video

Google started as a research project in 1995 and incorporated in 1998. Susan was an employee number 16. 25 years sounds about right.

Yes, we follow them closely. Key differences:

— Mighty's main focus is on top-down content, not messaging with organizers and among members.

— Mighty's communities are all separate, with individual accounts and sometimes even separate mobile apps. On Openland people have just one account and inbox for all their communities. Much simpler than Mighty, Slack, or Discord.

We think that sustainable people-first social networking will follow from the new business models. Openland's bet is on SaaS model for community organizers + revenue cut from member-funded communities. This business model has better incentive alignment between Openland platform, members, and organizers.

Dave, congrats for launching your own group on Openland so quickly. We'll help you find members among people who are already on Openland.

I like this analogy! Key differences from Openland to Reddit

— Most users use their real name

— Focus on direct and group chats, not posts

— Ability to save people in contacts, profile hashtags to find interesting people

— More professional-grade tools for organizers: automaton, integrations, analytics, payments, etc.

There are two business models here:

1. Community is free for members, organizers pay Openland for premium features. This is useful for businesses who use communities for volunteer management, lead generation, product sales, support, and referral programs.

2. Members pay organizers, Openland takes the cut. This is useful for various "knowledge products": premium content, consulting, coaching, courses, mastermind groups, and networking clubs.

Fair, there are groups in various languages on Openland and the group language isn't always obvious from the group name. We need to make our community recommendations more aligned with people's preferred languages.

The most useful communities on Openland are single language and well-moderated.

Would love to talk more about your community. How can I reach you? I am at [email protected]

We guarantee easy export for all organizers. If something goes wrong or you simply want to move elsewhere, we will not keep you locked in.

Readability is a big priority for us, we'll keep working to make it better across all devices. Yes, the web version is only resizable with the browser itself. For more control over the app dimensions, consider using Openland for Windows.
