Question 1

What is Qwujo?

Accepted Answer

Qwujo is the queer city guide for Antwerp and Ghent: an independent, community-driven platform where you discover queer and LGBTQIA+ events, places, services, artists and organisations. The Qwujo team chooses and checks what goes on it, and the site is available in four languages.

Question 2

What can I find on Qwujo?

Accepted Answer

On Qwujo you find queer and LGBTQIA+ events in Antwerp and Ghent, queer-friendly bars and clubs, the Market with queer entrepreneurs, care and services, organisations, artists, a feed with what is new, and a community to ask questions. Start on the Discover page to explore everything.

Question 3

Is Qwujo free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Qwujo is free to use. Queer entrepreneurs and organisations claim and manage their page for free, and post one free message in the feed every month. Paid visibility is optional and always labelled: "Featured" on profiles, "Paid" on events and tips.

Question 4

Who is Qwujo for?

Accepted Answer

Qwujo is made for queer people in and around Antwerp and Ghent: gay, lesbian, bi, trans, non-binary, questioning and allies. Also for expats, visitors and anyone who wants to explore the queer scene safely.

Question 5

How do I contribute to Qwujo?

Accepted Answer

You can send a suggestion via the Contribute page, write a review of a place or event, ask a question in the community, or claim your page as an organiser or entrepreneur. Every contribution makes queer Antwerp and Ghent more visible.

Question 6

I just created an account. Where do I start?

Accepted Answer

Open My Qwujo. At the top you find four first steps: pick your interests, save an event, follow three things (one tap on a collection such as Free this week, or a place or artist), and subscribe to the Thursday newsletter. After that Qwujo shows tips that fit you, and your feed and the newsletter keep you posted. The block disappears once everything is done, or when you close it.

Question 7

How do I choose which notifications I get?

Accepted Answer

In your settings, under "Notifications", you choose an email right away (at most one a day), a weekly overview on Monday, or only in-app notifications. For each place, artist or organisation you follow, you switch notifications on or off in My Qwujo. Everything from who you follow is also in the feed, under "Following". Private messages never wait a week: you get an email at 18:00 the same day, except with "In the app only". Want to know right away? Turn on push notifications on your device, under Settings.

Question 8

What are member perks?

Accepted Answer

Some partners give Qwujo members a perk, such as a discount code. Everyone can see which perk there is; you see the code itself when you are logged in, on the partner’s page and in the Market. An account is free. You see which partners take part in the Market, by the "Member perk" label.

Question 9

Can I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Yes, at any time. Go to My Qwujo → Notifications, privacy and language and scroll to "Delete account". You confirm with a code we email you, then it happens right away. You choose whether your reviews and community posts are deleted or stay as "Former member". Pages you manage stay on Qwujo, but no longer in your name.
