Find someone who shares your curiosity.
Start with something you both care about.
Yedidi means friend or beloved
One shared thing can become a friend.
Meet people across Africa and beyond through an interest, a story or a wish. Yedidi gives people a thoughtful reason to meet—and lets both choose what happens next.

People should meet through something real.
Yedidi starts with why you might talk—not how many people are watching. An interest, a story or a wish gives the right person a reason to reach out.
Tell it your way
No audience. Just an opening.
Share an experience, a thought or a small moment. Someone can respond privately, and you decide whether it becomes a conversation.
No popularity contest. No pressure to perform. Just a thoughtful reason to speak.

A small wish can introduce the right people.
Ask for something meaningful, invite support or bring people together around what you hope to do.
Both people choose
A message should arrive with a reason.
A short request gives the other person context and control. Chat opens only when they accept—so neither person enters a conversation by accident.

Connection, with context from the beginning.
Put something real into the world
An interest, story or wish gives the right person a reason to find you.

A thoughtful request arrives with context. You decide whether it moves forward.
Continue when both people want to
Private chat begins after acceptance, with the shared starting point still visible.
Private by design
Your social life is not public property.
Your full name and user number can stay out of public view. You choose who enters a conversation and when protected media opens.
- No public real-name profile
- Mutual choice before private chat
- Protected media that you open deliberately
- Block, report or leave at any time
Your next friend may already care about it too.
Join Yedidi on iPhone, Android or the web. Bring an interest, a story or a wish. That is enough to begin.
