🌞 Summer Solstice Newsletter 2025

🌻 Join Our New Volunteer Hub + A Friendly Check-In!

👋 Hello Simbians!

As we celebrate the longest day of the year and the official start of summer, we’re energized by the incredible momentum building within our Simbi volunteer community! The warmth of the season mirrors the warmth we feel from all of you who continue to make Simbi a vibrant space for mutual aid and connection!

🌱 Growing Our Volunteer Circle on Hylo

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our dedicated Simbi Volunteer Hub on Hylo.com – a collaborative platform perfect for our community-driven initiatives! This new space will help us coordinate efforts, share ideas, and foster deeper connections among our volunteers.

✨ Why Hylo? It’s a platform built on the values we cherish – collaboration, transparency, and community empowerment. Hylo provides enhanced tools for organizing projects and staying seamlessly connected between our seasonal newsletters. 

Current volunteers and those who recently joined and have been waiting patiently in Slack: please join us in our new Hylo group! Here, you’ll experience improved organization, clearly defined projects, and genuine follow-through (we promise!). Your patience and continued interest mean everything to us, and we can’t wait to collaborate with you! For more on our Holochain plans, check out this What’s hAppening? article. 

🤝 Why This Matters – This isn’t just another platform switch 

It’s the beginning of something special. In the coming months, Simbi will transition to Holochain technology—a revolutionary step that ensures you truly own your data and connections through your secure cryptographic identity (think of it as your unique digital signature). We’ll provide comprehensive help, updates, resources, and onboarding guides, ensuring no one is left behind! 

Hylo is crucial because it will demonstrate Simbi’s core function as a portable, non-speculative currency that seamlessly integrates across the web. Hylo will become the first of many platforms to utilize Simbi credits, exemplifying our vision for interconnected communities—with Simbi.com serving as a flagship global mutual aid community. As Simbi moves forward with its evolution to Holochain technology, our volunteer community will play a key role in shaping this exciting transformation. Join us on Hylo!

👋 A Gentle Nudge for Our Simbi Community

We’ve noticed some of our wonderful members haven’t logged into Simbi.com in a while, and we genuinely miss you! Your participation—through exchanges, volunteering, or sharing Simbi with friends—strengthens our entire community.

If you haven’t visited Simbi recently, we’d love to see you again! This summer is the perfect time to reconnect: 

  • Log in and explore what’s new
  • Update your offerings or requests
  • Share your latest passion or hobby with new connections

When you participate, you’re not just exchanging services—you’re helping to build a more connected and resilient community. Your unique skills, needs, and presence enrich the beautiful tapestry of Simbi.

We’re grateful for each of you—whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or just joined yesterday. Together, we’re proving that mutual aid isn’t just a concept; it’s a vibrant, living reality transforming communities.

Here’s to a summer filled with meaningful connections! See you on Simbi
