A brand-new Mundo Lingo website
We rebuilt mundolingo.org from the ground up. Pages open faster, everything works on a phone, and every city's community is one tap away.
Picking up where Our History leaves off: every change to Mundo Lingo, newest first.
Highlights
Meetups that repeat properly
Monthly meetups can repeat on a weekday, like the first Friday, or on a date, like the 15th. Every meetup now shows its place, date and start time.
Delete your account, with 30 days to change your mind
You can delete your account yourself. For 30 days you can still recover it. After that it's gone.
Posting is simpler
The composer opens the moment you choose what to post, guides you one step at a time, and keeps the page still while you write.
Messenger
Send private messages between profiles. Sort conversations into folders, mute or block, mark as unread, and get an email if a message arrives while you're away. Messages are stored encrypted.
Communities run by a team
Organisations and communities can add managers and helpers who post and look after the profile together. People can ask to join, and everyone can see who runs a profile.
Notifications
A new Notifications page gathers replies and activity in your communities, with a calmer email digest. A dot shows which of your profiles has something new.
Coming soon
Being tested now, arriving with the next update.
See how a community grows
Under a quiet community or city, tap the line that says how many posts it still needs. A short animation shows a community coming together, coloured dots show how close it is, and one tap takes you to write a post.
Introduce yourself
New members write a short introduction on one screen, instead of setting up a separate profile.
Posting allowances and credits
Everyone gets a monthly allowance of posts, shown as a simple meter. Need more? Buy credits with Bitcoin or USDT. Bought credits never expire.
Photo albums
Share several photos in one post. They appear as a mosaic, open full-screen, and are much sharper than before.
Pop-ups work with the keyboard
Pop-up windows now take keyboard focus when they open, keep it inside, and close with Escape. They are solid white too, so the page behind no longer shows through.
What's new
This page: every change to Mundo Lingo since 2025, in plain words, with what has changed since your last visit marked New.
Photos grow into the opened post
Tap a post with a photo and the photo grows smoothly into the opened post.
Roomier posts on a phone
An opened post uses more of a phone's screen.
Fixed: some members couldn't vote
A small number of members with a live profile were refused when voting. They can vote again.
A redesigned account page
Change your email with a confirmation, change your password, sign out of every device, and find your archived profiles.
Replies keep their drafts
A reply you're writing survives a slip, and if you reach a posting limit you see exactly when you can try again.
One family of icons
Every icon on the site was redrawn as one matching set, so pages read more calmly.
The composer explains swaps and proposals
The composer unfolds smoothly, and explains swaps and proposals right where you write them.
City pages arrive in one go
A city page now gets everything it needs in a single request, so it appears faster.
Easier to use by keyboard
Buttons, links and the vote button show a clear focus ring when you move through a page with the keyboard.
Log in and land in your city
Logging in from the homepage takes you straight to your own city.
Meetup dates in the city's own time
Meetups are dated by the city they happen in, wherever you're reading from.

A clearer way in for visitors
Visitors see a plain 'Log in' button at the top, and the invitation to join now sits in the feed instead of a banner.
Topics on one tidy row
The row of topics on a city page stays on one line. Swipe it to see more.
Your draft waits for you
Close the composer by mistake and your draft is still there when you open it again.
Each community gets its own header
Topic communities in a city open with their own header, and long discussions expand in place.
Better with a screen reader
Tab hints and filter changes are now announced to screen readers.
Meetups that repeat properly
Monthly meetups can repeat on a weekday, like the first Friday, or on a date, like the 15th. Every meetup now shows its place, date and start time.
Calmer messages
Confirmations and errors share one calm style, and a mistake in a form is shown right next to the field to fix.
Delete your account, with 30 days to change your mind
You can delete your account yourself. For 30 days you can still recover it. After that it's gone.
Steadier at busy times
The site now runs as two copies side by side, so it stays up if one has a problem.
How to post, explained
New explainer pages show, with diagrams and real examples, how discussions, meetups, swaps and proposals work.
Posting is simpler
The composer opens the moment you choose what to post, guides you one step at a time, and keeps the page still while you write.
An action bar for phones
On a phone, the main actions on a city page sit in a bar at the bottom of the screen, within reach of your thumb.
Every post opens in a window
Tap any post, of any kind, and it opens over the feed. Close it and you're back where you were.
Sort the feed your way
Each tab remembers how you like it sorted, and Meetups are listed by the date they happen.
Old links still work
Links to posts from the old website now take you to the right post.
Fairer reputation from proposals
Reputation earned from proposals is now worked out on our servers, and it can never be counted twice.
Ready for AI search
Mundo Lingo now describes its cities clearly to search engines and AI assistants, so they can answer questions about us accurately.
Fixed: a misleading 'text too long' error
Some posts failed with a 'text too long' message when length wasn't the problem. That no longer happens.
A tidier Library
We fixed 63 broken links in the Library, merged duplicate pages, and added an automatic link check.
Administration platform
Various updates to the internal administration platform, including a weekly checklist that helps organisers keep their city community healthy.
April – June 2026
See what people are known for
Profiles and posts show reputation topic by topic, so you can see where someone's contributions have been appreciated.

Send private messages between profiles. Sort conversations into folders, mute or block, mark as unread, and get an email if a message arrives while you're away. Messages are stored encrypted.
Communities run by a team
Organisations and communities can add managers and helpers who post and look after the profile together. People can ask to join, and everyone can see who runs a profile.
Follow a profile
Tap the bell on a profile to hear when it posts. From there you can vote, follow, join and eventually help run it.
Account security in one place
Your account page has a security card, and password reset links take you straight to the right screen.
Contact your city's organisers
The contact page lists the organisers of each city, so your message reaches the right person.
A friendly nudge about your city
Members get an occasional reminder of what's happening in their city community. We never send more than one such email every three days.
Stronger foundations
We upgraded the system that runs Mundo Lingo behind the scenes, and every update is now tested automatically before it goes live.
Switch cities in a tap
The city picker was rebuilt, so moving between cities, or finding a new one, is quick.
Notifications
A new Notifications page gathers replies and activity in your communities, with a calmer email digest. A dot shows which of your profiles has something new.
Discussions open in a window, with room to say more

Easier to find on Google
Better titles, descriptions and previews, so cities and posts show up clearly in search results and when shared.

The first screen of a city feed now arrives in one quick request.
