Where ideas find community
A community platform where insight matters more than engagement. Connect with people who want to go deeper on the topics you care about.
Why we built this
In Hausa society, a sankira keeps communities informed. That's the tradition we named this platform after.
We built Sankira as an experiment at Masena. What would an online space look like if it was designed for thoughtful conversation instead of engagement? Let's find out together.
What guides us
Three things that shape how we're building this:
Privacy by default
Browse freely without an account. When you're ready to join, it's just a name and email. We don't track you or sell your data.
Substance over clickbait
Our algorithms prioritize thoughtful content over viral headlines. Because depth and context make for better conversations.
Built with you, not for metrics
We build based on what helps the community, not what drives metrics. We're actually here, listening, and quick to ship what matters.
Help shape what comes next
We're just getting started. Join now and you'll help shape what features we build and how the platform evolves.
