Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About How OneFamily.uno Works
How do I join OneFamily.uno?
- OneFamily.uno is currently invitation-based, starting in Bamberg, Germany. You can request an invite on the join page, or ask a current member to invite you. Once invited, you complete a short profile, are introduced to a local Family Cell, and attend your first weekly meeting.
What is my first week like as a member?
- You post a couple of small Needs and Deeds in the app, attend your first weekly meeting, and meet the Host and a few members. You start receiving the daily 24 ORE on day one, locked at first, and learn the basics by doing rather than by reading. The first month is intentionally low-pressure.
Who runs my Family Cell day to day?
- Each Cell has a Host: a trained member who facilitates the weekly meeting, confirms matches, welcomes new members, and watches the Cell's overall health. Hosts are not authority figures but coordinators, and they unlock ORE for their work like any other contribution.
What does the platform actually do for me?
- It removes the friction that usually kills informal mutual aid: nobody has to remember who owes whom, nobody has to organise matches by hand, and nobody has to decide whose hour is worth more. The platform handles the bookkeeping so members can focus on showing up for each other.
How is OneFamily.uno different from a Facebook group or Nextdoor?
- Posts on neighborhood social networks float in a feed and disappear; help is occasional and unstructured. OneFamily.uno turns mutual aid into a weekly habit with confirmed matches, a transparent contribution log, and a small enough group that members actually know one another. It is the operating system for the village, not another timeline.
What happens if I move to a new city?
- Your membership and your ORE history come with you. You join a Family Cell in your new location, or, if no Cell exists yet, you can apply to start one as a Host. The platform is designed to be portable between Cells rather than locked to a place.
