A chat room and community on your website

A chat next to your stream, where listeners become regulars.

Install the plugin, choose your room, put the block in your post template. Logged-in WordPress readers join in with their site account.

Steps for WordPress

Any other site

One snippet on your page. Login from your own accounts goes through your server; the keys never reach the browser.

Steps with the snippet

For your readers

They use the login they already have on your site: no second account.
They choose a nickname; their e-mail address stays private.
No site-wide tracking and no cookies from us on your pages.
Reporting, blocking and objecting to a decision are always possible.

What you get

A chat room, a community and conversations under your articles (WordPress block or one snippet), with the login of your own site.
Automatic pre-sorting into three trays: published · doubt for a person · hidden only at high certainty, with a reason and a route to appeal.
Spam rules without AI: repetition, the same link in several places, and pace per connection and per website.
One line of explanation for every doubtful case, with a suggestion — you decide.
A dashboard with tiles from real counts and a queue you handle in three clicks.
A monthly report for your records and your lawyer: page, CSV, PDF and mail. Without message content.

Price

From €24 per month for creators, clubs and small sites, €79 for news sites and larger clubs, and €149 or a custom agreement for larger sites, broadcasters and municipalities. Free stays free: a public room in the network and the basic block on your site.

All plans

There are no customer figures here: those come once the first site has a monthly report. Everything above exists and is tested; the figures for your own site are in your dashboard.

What it does not promise

No “100% clean”: a classifier has doubt, and exactly that doubt goes to a person.
No “the AI decides”: hiding happens only at high certainty, always with a reason and an appeal that reaches a person.
No legal guarantee of DSA compliance. What it does support: acting fast, every decision recorded with a reason, an appeal route and a fixed contact point.
No tracking, no advertising, and nothing your readers write is sold on.

Why not just Discord or a comment widget?

Your audience is scattered over Discord, Facebook and a comment section with ads, and on your own site it is quiet. HangLobby puts the conversation back on your pages, with your rules, your members' login and a moderation that explains why. What is said stays yours: topics, reports and an archive, never resold.

Three forms

Chat room (live, with a host and an audio table), community (lobby, topics, agenda, members) and article conversation (comments under one page, in your HTML for search engines).

Sign-in from your own site

Free for your public room: with the WordPress plugin (or your own server) members of your site pick a nickname and join in without a second account. The link applies only to your room; we get no e-mail address and no roles. Linking a private room belongs to Own room.

Your own branding and domain

With Own room you choose colours and a logo, and the room can run on your own (sub)domain, with sign-in on that domain.

Moderation stays with you

Hosts and moderators of your room decide; automatic signals help, a person decides, and every measure has a reason and a route to appeal.

No tracking of your visitors

The loader is small (under 15 KB), loads only when the frame comes into view and sets no cookies on your site. What a visitor does in the chat stays with the chat.

How to start

Create a room, open "Embedding" in the room settings and paste the code snippet — or install the WordPress plugin and pick your room there.

Questions about the law

Is this “DSA compliant”?

We do not promise that as a legal guarantee. What the product supports: acting quickly on reports (with the times in the monthly report), every decision recorded with a reason, an appeal that reaches a person, and a fixed contact point through the queue. What you arrange yourself: your own house rules, your contact page and the review by your lawyer.

Who decides a doubtful case?

A person. The automatic check publishes what is clearly fine, hides only at high certainty with a reason for the writer, and puts doubt in front of you with the rule, the score and one line of explanation. You choose whether doubtful messages stay visible in the meantime or wait.

What does the writer see?

Why their message is waiting or hidden, in plain words, and one appeal that reaches a person. Never a silent deletion.

What is in the monthly report?

Per month: published, automatically hidden, seen by a person, average and longest waiting time, appeals and reversals, reports and the share handled within 24 hours, moderator activity. Never message content, visitor names or e-mail addresses. As a page, CSV, PDF and by mail.

Does what my readers write go to an AI company?

Only text from a public conversation goes to the classifier for the check and, when in doubt, to the context check — the contribution itself, the title and at most five earlier public contributions, without a name or ID. Private conversations, members-only topics and direct messages never do. There is no tracking and no advertising.

Questions about spam and signing in

Does this really stop spam?

Spam is recognised without AI as well: repeated and near-identical messages, the same text from several accounts, the same link in several rooms or from several new accounts, links from accounts younger than a day, and pace per connection and per website. Every rule can be explained and is shown as the reason with the message.

Can readers sign in with their account on my site?

Yes, with the website sign-in through the WordPress plugin or a small endpoint on your server. We get no e-mail address and no role from your site; the sign-in applies only to your linked conversation.

How strict is it?

Three settings: mild, normal and strict, per site. Very serious categories always wait for a person at the least; self-harm is never hidden automatically — that is where a person should look.

What if the AI fails?

Then the rules and the people simply carry on; new accounts wait a moment, the rest goes through. The queue says so honestly: “temporarily off”.
