Fetside is an adult-oriented social networking platform^[1] that caters to individuals with an interest in fetish lifestyles ^[2]. It was launched on January 1, 2019, by Mykhaylo Avdohin and is headquartered in Kyiv, Ukraine. The platform operates under the parent company, Fetside Group^[3], and is designed to facilitate a safe and open environment^[4] for people to explore and connect over their diverse interests within the fetish community. Built using PHP and Node.js, Fetside emphasizes user experience and accessibility, offering tools that support seamless interaction.^[5][6]

Fetside was established to address a gap in social networking^[7] platforms for the fetish community, providing a space where users could express themselves without stigma or judgment. The founders envisioned creating more than just a digital networking^[8] site, focusing instead on fostering a genuine and supportive community.^[9]

Initially serving a primarily regional audience in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)^[10][11], Fetside's popularity began to grow globally after 2022. Strategic efforts to expand its user base, combined with its user-friendly design and non-judgmental ethos, contributed to its broad appeal.

Since its inception, Fetside has grown into a global community^[12] that includes both newcomers and experienced enthusiasts within the fetish world. Its welcoming atmosphere encourages users to explore their interests while connecting with others who share similar passions. The platform’s commitment to fostering a respectful and inclusive environment has helped establish it as a trusted space for individuals who might otherwise face stigma in more conventional social settings.^[13]

Fetside’s mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental environment for individuals to explore and express their interests. It aims to go beyond traditional social networking by building a genuine community that values openness and respect.

Fetside remains active, with ongoing efforts to enhance the user experience and expand its reach. The platform continues to develop new features and services to meet the evolving needs of its global user base. Registration^[14] is required to access its features, reinforcing its focus on creating a secure and engaged community.

Fetside has been recognized for its unique role within the social networking space. Its approach to fostering inclusivity and supporting niche communities has set it apart from mainstream platforms, making it a valued resource for individuals exploring fetish lifestyles.
