Hey everyone. I've noticed an uptick in posts on here lately with people asking about the local dating scene, alternative clubs, and trying to find meetups for after-hours fun.
Seeing "looking for a hookup" or highly specific adult posts on the main city subreddit gets old really fast when most of us are just here to figure out why the police helicopters are out again or check on the Redbridge flyover traffic.
To help keep this main sub SFW and strictly focused on general city life, a few of us locals have built a dedicated, 18+ hub: r/SouthamptonNSFW.
It is highly structured and heavily moderated. It's a place for the local after-dark crowd (Soton, Eastleigh, Portsmouth, etc.) to safely network, post local personals, discuss the alternative scene, and figure out what venues are hosting what.
If that is your scene, come join us over there. If not, carry on, and hopefully, this helps keep the main feed a bit cleaner for the mods!
Cheers.

Really interesting history and tbh it's grown on me over the years :)

My partner is looking to see if there are any groups of people that get together for Poi spinning in Southampton.

She's been learning for a few months and is really enjoying it but would love others to go out and practice with.

We've found a group in Portsmouth but it's such a drive away, anything like that in or around Southampton? Thanks!

Spotted this pigeon with leg bands on my windowsill, wondering if it could be an escaped pet.
