The New PLU Feed is here — and it's ours

There's something we've been thinking about for a while now. Something that's been sitting quietly at the back of our minds as the way online communities work — and sometimes don't work — has become harder to ignore.

The best conversations in the PLU Community have always happened between people who share a particular kind of understanding. You don't need to explain why you'd rather live in someone's home for a week than check into a hotel. You don't need to justify leaving your own home in the hands of strangers. The people here already know. That shared understanding is exactly what makes this Community worth protecting.

Which is why we've wanted, for a long time, to bring more of the conversation home.

A Feed worth coming back to

Some of you will remember the first version of the PLU Feed. If you tried it and it didn't quite click, we'd love you to give it another look — because this is a rebuilt-from-the-ground-up relaunch, and it's a different experience entirely.

It's faster, more beautiful, and it actually works the way we always imagined it should. And it comes with some features that make conversation here feel genuinely connected to the rest of your PLU life:

• Gallery photos — show your home the way it deserves to be shown
• Member mentions — bring someone into the conversation directly
• Home profile links — type #1 and it becomes a rich link to your home, with a preview snippet, just like you'd see on Facebook
• Notifications — get alerted when someone replies to your posts
• Meetups — link to a meetup, and the Feed will add a preview snippet

Beyond that, you can use the Feed to list your property so other members can find you more easily, talk through travel plans, share the destinations on your radar, and have real conversations with people who actually get it — without the noise, the algorithms, or the unsettling feeling that the ground beneath your community could shift without warning.

Built for this Community, not for everyone

This isn't a general-purpose social platform that we're borrowing space on. It's being built specifically for home exchange, and specifically for PLU — which means over time it will understand context that no external platform ever could: your home profiles, your exchange history, your wishlists, your communities and meetups, the way you like to travel.

And it's for everyone in our Community. Whether you use Facebook or not, the conversation is here.

More to come

We're still building. The next version will bring better discovery, smarter notifications, and a few things we're not quite ready to share yet. But this relaunch is solid, and we wanted you to have it now rather than wait until everything is perfect.

If you've never tried the Feed, come and say hello. If you have — come back. It's worth a second look. 🏡
