Sites Like Amino — The 6 Best Community Platforms

Amino was both an app and a website (aminoapps.com). After the shutdown the question changes from 'which app to use' to 'which site to use'. These are the six best.

Short list

Aminoka — closest one-for-one match, web + mobile. Free.
Discord — chat-driven. Free / Nitro.
Reddit — thread-driven. Free.
Tumblr — narrative / roleplay / shipping. Free.
Telegram — large-scale chat-only. Free.
Guilded — Discord with a calendar. Free.

Aminoka — built for this

Aminoka.com works on every modern browser. The desktop UI is a two-pane split (community sidebar + main feed + chat split-pane at ≥1024px). The mobile UI mirrors the original Amino app's bottom-tab layout. Sign in with Google or email, browse the Discover tab, join a community — the same flow Amino used to have.

Beyond the look: communities have wall posts, polls, leveling, leader / curator / host roles, public + private chats, a roleplay matchmaker, an OC library with photo galleries and kudos. All free, no ads, no premium tier.

The rest of the list

Discord — the web client (discord.com) works in any browser. Best for chat-driven communities. Missing structural depth (no profiles, no walls, no leveling without bots).

Reddit — reddit.com is the web home for thread-style discussion. Good for asynchronous communities, useless for live chat or character-driven RP.

Tumblr — best for narrative roleplay and shipping. Each blog is an island; no community structure but custom themes are unmatched.

Telegram — web.telegram.org handles large-scale group chat well. No community structure, no profile depth.

Guilded — guilded.gg is a Discord-shaped service with a built-in calendar. Niche outside gaming groups.

How to pick

If your community needs structure (profiles, walls, leveling, leaders) — pick Aminoka. If it needs chat velocity — Discord. If it needs threads — Reddit. If it needs narrative — Tumblr. Most successful post-Amino communities run Aminoka + Discord side by side. Full comparison: top 10 Amino alternatives in 2026.
